Background

‘Maryam and Joe: Behind Closed Doors’ has been developed to allow professionals and young people to  spot the signs of radicalisation in two different scenarios; firstly, through  the online, social-media life of Maryam (aged 15) and her sisters and secondly,  through the online and personal relationships of Joe (aged 20) and his family. Both  stories are suitable for young people and young adults and they focus on  grooming processes; what to do to help safeguard the young people; and the  influence and impact of their behaviour and actions on their families. Using  ‘traffic light’ and ‘emoji’ rating systems you are encouraged to input your  thoughts on how and why the characters are being groomed. 

Objectives

• To  provide professionals and young people with a platform to develop understanding  about the processes involved in radicalisation.

• To  raise awareness amongst professionals and young people of the processes of  grooming for radicalisation.

• To  heighten awareness of how young people and students can be safeguarded, in  particular the processes and staff involved in Junior, secondary, tertiary and  higher education.

• To  facilitate understanding of the different ideologies that underpin extremist  and terrorist organisations.

• Highlight  the issues associated with young women being groomed and recruited for  travelling by Daesh.

• Highlight  the issues associated with young men being groomed and recruited to right wing  organisations.

• Encourage  discussion and reflect on the use and abuse of different social media platforms  for the purposes of radicalisation.

• To  look at the different policies and procedures that exist in organisations on  radicalisation and to evaluate how they work in practice.
