academic enthusiasm, voluntary work and digital innovations can help in solving our complex problems. Social media and the free flow of information are one of the causes for large scale immigration. They can also offer solutions. Innovation has been the most significant driver for development, and fostering it is crucial for turning the challenge of immigration into an opportunity - in Europe and worldwide. Integration is the best tool against extremism. I strongly encourage Choose Your Future and other similar projects to help immigrants integrate and eventually contribute.” Petteri Orpo Minister of the Interior Finland

The experiences include daily affirmations, personal challenges and goals, and a scoreboard to compare a user’s rank with friends in their online network. Through the network, 52Jumaa mobilizes users and communities of peers to become agents for positive change. Target Audience Young Muslims between 15-18 years of age Rationale Research suggests a mobile app targeted at youth in the seeking-seduction phase of the radicalization vulnerability framework can effectively challenge negative narratives, which can reinforce social isolation and lead to radicalization towards violent extremism, by providing users with positive alternatives to negative stimuli. Opportunities to Scale 52Jumaa can be adapted for people from different cultural and religious backgrounds (e.g. 52Sundays) Local religious leaders could participate in offering challenges and positive affirmations Add a “photo stream” to further unite users “The app wants us to be more aware of the type of person we are and motivates you to be a better person.” Noor Alani – Focus Group
