Context: The government requires all education institutions to deliver training on the Prevent campaign. This is the starting point of the government’s anti-terrorism agenda. West Kent College is aware that the posters for Prevent are boring and they have created a competition for all year groups (FE and HE) to deliver an alternative that will catch the interest of the audience.
The audience is the students of West Kent College.
Brief: Work with your classmates to create an interesting design to be an alternative to the current boring or muddling Prevent posters. The winning design will be made and used within the college.
Hint: it does not have to be a poster.
Hint: think carefully about the message and how your design conveys this.
Deliverables: if you can make your design idea by the end of tomorrow (Oct 4th) you should produce it. In any case you must produce a PDF (of no more than two A4 sides) that shows your ideas, or a clear visualisation of them, with notes and a short statement that describes the aim. PDF must be labelled with course name, year group and tutors (TB and SdeB) and a clear project title.

WHAT IS? WHAT IF? WHAT WOWS?
What i feel about Radicalisation and the PREVENT campaign
Debate is an important element to issues such as Radicalisation. Without Debate, Slavery could well be still in use today.
Although is can be seen as a Taboo subject and people feel different about bringing to light the issue, as seen in history, it takes someone or something to say ‘ENOUGH IS ENOUGH’
The research through the e-learning video gave me a deeper understanding of the issue and how it is very much something that not all people understand or are aware of.
The case studies really make the situation real, and makes me feel a lot of Empathy toward the people who are mistakenly thought to be involved in radicalisation by showing possible signs which are associated with other problems in their lives, such as withdrawal, depression, anger.
What makes something better is connection!
- Understanding but not always agreeing
- Have an open perspective
- You have a right to your own opinion
Art can be one of the best ways to engage with people instead of speaking in force.
