Institute for Strategic Dialogue
The Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) brings together a range of the elite policy planning activites of Lord Weidenfeld. All but one of its trustees (Helena Kennedy) have connections with the banking and finance sector including with hedge funds. The Institute, however, focuses much of its activities on the question of Islam and its role in Western societies and on defence and intelligence matters. The Institute provides the home for a number of Weidenfeld's other initiatives, such as the Club of Three.

Programmes
The Institute for Strategic Dialogue operates a series of programmes, covering five main areas: Civil Society Networks, Research & Insight, Communication & Technology, Education and Policy & Advisory.[1]
Grassroots Networks
Against Violent Extremism (AVE)
Against Violent Extremism was devised and launched by Google Ideas at the Summit Against Violent Extremism in Dublin in 2011. It is managed by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) and is a unique private sector partnership between ISD, Google Ideas, the Gen Next Foundation and rehabstudio.[2] The programme aims to empower former extremists and survivors of extremism in order for them to work together to counter extremist narratives.[3]

Innovation Fund
The Innovation Fund to Counter Hate and Extremism was launched in late 2017. Over the course of 2018, ISD managed this first-of-its-kind pilot programme, funded and supported by Google.org, and helped deliver innovative solutions to hate and extremism across the UK.[4]
Youth Civil Activism Network (YouthCAN)
Youth Civil Activism Network (YouthCAN) is a global youth network dedicated to countering extremism, polarisation and hate speech. YouthCAN operates in more than 130 countries. In 2017, YouthCAN partnered with another ISD project – Strong Cities Network (SCN) – to develop the Young Cities project, funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[5]
