About the SCN Working Groups

The Strong Cities Network launched three members’ working groups in May 2016, with specific remits on key areas of local CVE development. Each working group is chaired by an SCN member city, with day-to-day management and research overseen by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue.

SCN working groups are designed to be collaborative forums for research and best practice sharing between member cities and will run over the course of a year.
