1st Steering Committee Meeting (Kick-off meeting) in Lisbon, Portugal – January 2023
A new transnational European partnership emphasises the need for an integrative approach to preventing refugees’ and asylum-seekers’ vulnerability to radicalisation. With refugee crises pressingly affecting Europe since 2015, and with the additional challenges posed by the conflict in Ukraine, several demands are being stressed across various European regions. First, the assistance refugees receive must go beyond fulfilling short-term immediate needs. Then, considering the potential risk factors derived from their experience, it is essential to make efforts to prevent them from becoming radicalised. |

1st Cross Sectoral Roundtable
Fostering Integration: The Significance of Mentoring Programs With the rising numbers of refugees and asylum seekers in Europe, the need for effective strategies to support their integration and counteract the threats of radicalisation is paramount.

Enhancing Radicalisation Prevention:
A Review of the IN2PREV Project’s Developing Risk Assessment Tool The IN2PREV project aims to prevent radicalisation by effectively integrating refugees and asylum seekers into host societies. By providing law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) with innovative tools and training, this transnational initiative addresses the challenges and vulnerabilities associated with radicalisation processes within these vulnerable populations. A key development of the IN2PREV project is the Frontline Extremism Vulnerability Risk – Structured Evaluation Screening (FEVR-SES) tool. This tool assesses both the risks of radicalisation and protective factors, aiding practitioners in designing and implementing targeted interventions. It evaluates various risk factors, including social isolation, exposure to extremist ideologies, and economic instability. |
