We are currently looking for suitable participants for the RAN Mental Health Working Group meeting on “The ‘how’ and ‘why’ of hate crimes and the implications for mental health practitioners”.

In this issue of the Update, we take a look at the online radicalisation challenge, through a new film, the latest episode of RAN Reporters, a recently-published paper and an upcoming event.

The objective of the meeting is to spur exchange among evaluators and practitioners and to learn from recent innovative approaches. Participants will explore the behind-the-scenes working and cooperation mechanisms between evaluators and practice implementers.

This edition focusses on the radicalisation challenge in education settings. It includes content on the state of play for P/CVE in schools today, the role of teachers and current pedagogical approaches, and the challenge posed by problematic informal and nonformal education in schools.

This edition focusses on the challenge posed by violent left wing and anarchist extremism (VLWAE), including how conspiracy narratives have fostered anti-government sentiments, and how VLWAE and VRWE groups have exploited the COVID-19 pandemic to turn people to violence.

For our RAN Youth & Education (Y&E) Working Group meeting, we are looking for youth workers, teachers and other educational professionals with experience in preventive work through arts.

The objective of the workshop is to highlight key challenges, insights and lessons learned related to engagement in hate speech in the Western Balkans.

On behalf of the RAN PRISONS Working Group chairs Diletta Berardinelli and Nadya Radkovska, we are currently looking for participants with relevant expertise to take part in a meeting on ‘What is in the European prison toolbox of DDR programmes?’.

We are pleased to announce that the registrations for the RAN Webinar "Emerging trends and developments in P/CVE: anti-authorities narratives”, on 11 October (15.00 - 16.30 CET), are now open.
