The last years brought a topic on the public agenda that is a concern for youth work all over Europe. The radicalisation of young people is on the rise, on all levels of the spectrum - left, right or religious. Youth Work therefore plays an important role as the radicalisation of many young people could be successfully prevented if youth work would better know the different mechanisms and motivations behind the different forms of extremism. In order to successfully prevent the radicalisation of young people youth workers need to get to know the different steps, codes and motivation for the process the young person is going through.
During our TC for Youth workers have tackled the following agenda: - Study Visits to prevention programs in the Bremen area
- Terror comes with many faces - Exploring Europe’s history with terrorism
- Current forms of radicalization, special focus on Islamism and right-wing extremism - Religious and Racial theories for extremism
- Youth Workers Role
- Skill-set for recognizing tendencies in young people and how to address them The Trainings Course has been implemented nearby Bremen in November 2018.
