This toolkit takes the community approach as a starting point. It is primarily meant to support existing or new networks of teachers, social workers, law enforcement, religious leaders, and local and national policy makers on exchanging information on young people or for example on people in a troubled neighbourhood. It also informs journalists and policy makers on influences they may have on background factors of radicalisation. Our tools are aimed at professionals Europe wide, and they attempt to address all of the commonest forms of extremism in Europe – right wing extremism, left wing extremism, Islamist extremism, separatism and single issue extremism. One tool – that for religious leaders – focusses only on Islamist extremism.
The toolkit comprises: • A general background document which covers the objectives, presuppositions and starting points, implications for use and implementation. • Separate tools for each target group • Video material • Website with background information (our literature review, links to background documents for each target group, a bibliography and an overview of relevant links to preventative programmes or possible partners).
