Thirty short stories were written in the course of the Engaging Borders Africa project by writers, journalists and creatives drawn from Nigeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Niger Republic, and Kenya. 

These young people underwent detailed training, in the form of a massive online open course (MOOC), on preventing and countering violent extremism and on the short story as a genre of expression. Three of these stories have been made into films under our filmmaking project.
