It has been a busy year for RAN Practitioners and members of the network: nine Working Groups, as well as the RAN YOUNG Platform, met regularly throughout the year; practitioners from every working field came together in person for the first time in two years at the RAN Practitioners Plenary; new projects were added to the Collection of Inspiring Practices; and over 30 papers were published.

So as the year comes to a close, we look back at some of this activity and look ahead at what might be in store in the year to come. To do this, we feature the latest edition of the Spotlight magazine, and the latest episodes of the Special Report and The View. In this issue of the RAN Practitioners Update, we also take a look at the important role of civil society in preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE).
