Interfaith Dialogue for Combating Extremism among Young People is a free online sociology course offered by the European University Institute in Italy.

In particular, the class can be beneficial for activists, social services providers, educators, social workers, law enforcement officers and clergy. The course lasts for three weeks and is taught through online videos and supplemental readings. Most students will need to spend about three hours on the course each week.
