Our actions had an echo outside the borders of Burkina Faso so that in December 2016, EducommunicAfrik was contacted by EdVenture Partners (a USA NGO) to represent Burkina Faso at the world competition «Facebook Global Digital Challenge» of Spring 2017. In this context, we have set up a team of seven (07) young people to develop and conduct a campaign between March and June 2017 to counter violent extremism on social media and in a youth environment (Peer to Peer: Challenging Extremism Initiative ).
