Increased social and political polarisation encourages deepening radicalisation and the spread of extremist views. Various attempts are made in Europe to counter this, but there is still much to be done and new challenges are on the horizon. We look at these issues in interviews with people exploring or preventing these phenomena in different countries. Together we try to understand the processes undermining our democracies and to identify concrete solutions to stop the situation from deteriorating. Podcasts are developed in REDE project, implemented in DISCO programme of the CoE and EU.

    Part 6. Francesco Ragazzi tells Filip Pazderski about counter-radicalisation in European schools.

    Francesco Ragazzi from the University of Leiden tells Filip Pazderski about counter-radicalisation in European schools.

He raises questions about the limits of educational staff's entry into the role of police and the changes in the philosophy of law enforcement, where more and more emphasis is placed on predicting who might commit a crime. He also points out that in trying to protect ourselves from violence by radicalised individuals who undermine our freedoms and personal rights, we ourselves may be choosing to hand them over to law enforcement...

    A conversation with Patricia Hladschik, Director of polis - the Austrian Centre for Civic Education in Schools, on why education, including civic one, is not a kind of fire brigade, but when conducted systematically builds a solid foundation to counter radicalisation and violent extremism in society. Sometimes simple and proven teaching methods are better than very sophisticated innovations. However, it is important to bear in mind the preparation of the educators themselves, who should reflect on their own competences for working with such difficult subjects. We also discuss how they can complement each other in local communities with social workers
