This two-day seminar equips participants with practical tools to recognise and respond to manifestations of extremism. It focuses on how extremist narratives are created, their impact, and effective methods for weakening them through counter-narratives. The programme also explores the influence of international conflicts and polarisation, offering background knowledge and discussion strategies to reduce their effects. Participants are introduced to specialised tools, including the educational video games DECOUNT and HATE HUNTERS, which are applied through hands-on exercises, role plays, and supporting pedagogical materials. Methods: Multimedia sessions, group discussions, role plays, simulations, and video game-based exercises.

Anti-feminist narratives, rigid gender roles and authoritarian models of masculinity increasingly reach young people through social media. They appear in short videos, memes, influencer content, relationship advice or seemingly harmless codes and trends. Similar ideas about “proper” men and women, natural order, power and belonging can be found across very different political, religious and digital milieus and can act as bridge ideologies. The seminar focuses on how to recognise such content early and assess it in context. Topics include the Manosphere, Incel narratives, anti-feminist influencers, memes, emojis and coded language, as well as overlaps with far-right and religious-fundamentalist worldviews. The focus is practical: How do you respond when young people pick up or share these narratives? When is something mainly provocation, and when might it point to a more established worldview? How can professionals set clear boundaries without labelling young people too quickly? And how can conversations combine relationship-building, protection and professional clarity? The seminar is designed for professionals working with young people, particularly in youth work, education, social work, counselling and prevention. Methods: Expert input, analysis of social media examples, case work, moderated discussion and systemic communication methods. Learning objective: Participants learn to recognise key narratives and coded language on social media, assess problematic statements and behaviour among young people more confidently and develop practical responses for their work.

In this webinar, participants receive a compact overview of tradwives, Salafi influencers and related anti-feminist narratives on social media. The webinar addresses key content, aesthetic strategies and religious interpretations through which traditional images of women and family are presented as seemingly simple answers to social uncertainty. It focuses on how such content can affect girls and young women in particular, and what risks may arise in relation to radicalisation, withdrawal and polarisation. The webinar shows how professionals can recognise such content, assess it in context and respond appropriately in educational or counselling settings. It also discusses possible overlaps with extremist worldviews, as well as practice-oriented approaches to conversation and intervention. Methods: Expert input, analysis of social media examples, moderated discussion and practice-oriented case work. Learning objective: Participants recognise central narratives, assess risks and know how to discuss problematic content with young people.

This workshop introduces young people (12-17 years) to the dynamics of extremism, radicalisation, and terrorism, including how these phenomena arise and take shape.

This two-day seminar (2 x 6 hours) offers a foundational understanding of extremism, radicalisation, and terrorism.
