CHE-salon 9 May: 'What motivates people to commit an attack?' Terrorism and anti-terrorism led by Peter Knoope

After the attacks in Paris and Brussels, the question arises:
'what motivates people to commit these kinds of acts?' .

If we want to defeat terrorism, the analysis of the motives of the young man or perhaps woman from Mali, Nigeria, Pakistan and Syria, who is looking for his/her role in world history and for his/her individuality is important. At least as important as military and judicial measures.

How do we do that? Can we understand these people? And do we (from Europe/the Netherlands) influence this? These are all questions and matters that Peter Knoope deals with and researches. He will tell us about his work and will look and investigate with us.

Peter Knoope has about ten years of experience in combating terrorism. This includes countries such as Kenya, Nigeria, Kazakhstan and Yemen. He also worked as head of mission in Afghanistan. He also worked in the Netherlands for the National Coordinator for Counterterrorism. Peter is a diplomat and currently lives in South Africa.

You are cordially invited to participate in this salon.

For a good planning of the kitchen and the purchases, we pass on the number of diners on Friday morning. Signing up is important, even if you don't join us for dinner. Depending on the number of registrations, we will look for a suitable space. On the day of the salon you will receive an email to know in which room the salon will take place.

Contribution
We offer these salons based on the "purpose and principles" of the CHE and in order to make this permanently possible in the future, we ask you for a financial contribution from € 7,50.

And also possible, become a donor!
Organized by volunteers for volunteers. And the CHE has costs. From the Chamber of Commerce and the website to wanting to compensate for the time that goes into making connections between parties that enter into collaborations that they could not have dreamed of. To continue to make all this possible, we invite you to become a donor of the CHE. With an automatic transfer of at least € 20,– per month you make our work possible. The Center for Human Emergence NL is recognized as a charity, so your donations are tax deductible.

You can register as a donor by sending an email to diana@humanemergence.nl and/or transfer a one-time donation or monthly amount directly to IBAN account number NL51 TRIO 0212 4791 72 in the name of the Center for Human Emergence Foundation in Amsterdam. Incidentally, individual contributions are also very welcome.

Yours faithfully,
Peter Knoope, Wendela Schenk and Diana de Groot
