In July 2019, the Commonwealth Secretariat s Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) Unit launched a project called
Amader Porichoi (Our Identity) in Bangladesh. It included teachers, government officials and students from various universities. They shared views on cross-generational experiences of the Bangladeshi identity, both pre- and post-1971, including awareness of misinformation and fake news. A film named
Shongram, produced by British-Bangladeshi Munsur Ali, was also screened. The government welcomed the innovative project in the lead-up to the 50th anniversary of Bangladesh s independence.
