As part of preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE), where we seek to limit the strategic effectiveness of terrorists and other extremists, we also need to understand the communications environment after an attack, and know how to communicate effectively in this context.

The RAN Communication and Narratives working group (RAN C&N) has promoted the GAMMMA+ model since December 2017 as a practical guideline for carrying out effective alternative and counter narrative (AN /CN) campaigns.

If you want to develop effective alternative and counternarratives, then these guidelines are for you! The RAN´s Communication and Narratives working group (RAN C&N) has developed the following practical guidelines for carrying out effective alternative and counter-narrative campaigns.

How can you be sure a counter- or alternative narrative campaign is not causing harm, but doing good? Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) are essential when wanting to know whether a counter- or alternative narrative campaign has been effective and impactful.

With a strong online presence, youngsters nowadays are much more likely to come across explicit or implicit far-right extremist content. Far-right extremism (FRE) is often overlooked when it comes to strategies for preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE).

Education is, arguably, central to preventing young people from being attracted to violent extremist ideologies, organisations and movements – whether extreme Islamist, far-right or other threats to cohesive, inclusive societies. Internationally...

Since November 2015, educational professionals and experts have met in a series of RAN EDU meetings to discuss how best to contribute to the prevention of violent extremism through education (PVE-E).

The topic of gender has been discussed extensively within and outside RAN over the past few years. The focus has been directed at gender differences and the role gender plays in the process of radicalisation.

The general objective of the RAN EXIT Working Group is the enforcement of skills of practitioners in exit work. This document focuses on an advanced topic: the management of exit work and/or facilities.

The general objective of this ex post paper is to identify risk factors, models and practical proposals to work on the prevention of radicalisation through an intercultural lens.

The current handbook is designed as a research- and theory-informed aid for clinical forensic practitioners working with individuals who present with extremism risk/vulnerability and mental illness.

The relation between mental health disorders and acts of violent extremism has received increased attention in recent years. Several practitioners note that radicalised individuals have specific neuropsychiatric disorders like autism spectrum disorder or schizophrenia.

Following the RAN Issue Paper on ‘Root causes of violent extremism’, written by Magnus Ranstorp, violent extremism can be best conceptualised as a kaleidoscope of factors, creating infinite individual combinations.

Each year, the RAN High-Level Conference on radicalisation (RAN HLC) evolves around the unique opportunity of bringing together the European Commission, high-ranking officials of the EU Member States and RAN firstline practitioners from all its Working Groups.

To identify what works and what does not work in the field of preventing and countering violent extremism and radicalisation (P/CVE) we need to evaluate.

During this meeting, experienced local coordinators and case managers focused on the general set-up and ways to conduct effective individual case management in the prevention of radicalisation and violent extremism.

For local authorities, tackling far-right extremism (FRE) can be challenging: FRE differs from other forms of extremism, and there is a fine line between legal and illegal organisations.

First-line practitioners from several different RAN Working Groups have indicated a correlation between mental health illnesses and susceptibility to radicalisation.

This meeting will take place 20 September (14.00-17.00 CEST) and 21 September 2021 (09.15-12.30 CEST).This meeting will be held online via WebEx, in...

Ethics for mental health workers in the prevention of radicalisationJoin the RAN Mental Health Working Group for an online meeting on 16-17 June...

Violent extremists and terrorists do not only pose a considerable threat to European societies, for example, by committing severe terrorist attacks, they are also perceived as a very problematic group within prisons.

In recent years, government policy has repeatedly identified prisons as particularly significant environments, not only in terms of risk of radicalisation, but also for disengagement from violent extremism and implementation measures to prevent radicalisation of individual offenders.

Exit workers and probation officers both work with terrorist and violent extremist offenders, but are too often still working separately. Although in some Member States the two do work together, cooperation is not well organised and in some cases non-existent.

Many EU countries are increasingly confronted with radicalised individuals and prisoners convicted of terrorist offences being released from prison.

The first meeting of RAN POL in 2019 was dedicated to a conversation with the RAN POL Points of Contact. Despite the large amount of work that RAN POL has carried out, and the significant steps that have been made, there is always room for improvement.

Police and law enforcement professionals frequently experience barriers to information sharing as a challenging aspect of their PVE work.

Member States will be confronted with the release of detainees who were convicted for violent extremism or even terrorism. This brings challenges for society in terms of risk management and resocialisation.

On 4 and 5 April in Stockholm, the RAN Police an law enforcement (POL) and RAN Communication and Narratives (C&N) working groups meeting kicked off with a simple yet pertinent question: 'Why aren't all individuals exposed to propaganda equally susceptible?'

After 8 years of RAN, and with a network of over 5 000 first-line practitioners and currently 10 Working Groups, this year’s RAN Plenary (Brussels, 30 October 2019) provided the opportunity to reflect on RAN’s main achievements as well as map potential themes and future constituencies.

Hate crimes, growing intolerance, xenophobia, closed ideologies and communities, street violence by the extreme left and right – all are manifestations of polarisation, and are threats to Europe’s fundamental values.

The field of preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE) has seen increasing calls for multi- and cross-agency coordination in multidisciplinary partnerships.

When it comes to disengagement, deradicalisation and resocialisation efforts – also known as ‘exit work’ – the expectations of the programmes are high and costs per trajectory are considerable.

The RAN Policy and Practice event in Rome on 11 December 2019 brought together policy makers and practitioners active in health and social care, youth and community work, education and police, to work in the interface of Prevention and Countering of Violent Extremism (P/CVE)...

This ex post paper is written for both policymakers and first-line practitioners engaging or dealing with violent far-right extremists and Islamist extremists. This paper can serve as a guideline for practitioners and policymakers involved in preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE).

On 3-4 December 2019, a unique event brought together two RAN Working Groups (RAN RVT and RAN EXIT) and the European Forum for Restorative Justice (EFRJ) for exploring the role of Restorative Justice (RJ) in cases of violent extremism.

Practitioners and policymakers agree that evaluation is a fundamental part of programmes and initiatives targeting the prevention and countering of violent extremism (P/CVE). However, it is a complex task, and the participation of victims of terrorism poses an extra challenge.

Recent European history has left a traumatic legacy of vast communities affected by prolonged periods of violence and thousands of victims and survivors who, despite the current absence of violence, have to deal with the rise of severely polarised societies.

On 21, 22 and 23 November 2019, the VIIIth International Congress for Victims of Terrorism took place in Nice, France, co-organised by the French Association of Victims of Terrorism (AfVT) and the City of Nice, in partnership with mainly the RAN Remembrance of Victims of Terrorism Working Group

A mixed group of RAN practitioners and experts in the field of restorative justice visited the city of Zagreb to gain insight into Croatia’s restorative justice process and the reasoning behind it.

A mixed group of RAN practitioners visited the city of Strasbourg to get an insight into their local preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE) strategy and the reasoning behind it. The local P/CVE coordinator and multi-agency partners inspired us with their approach and projects.

This RAN Youth, Families and Communities (YF&C) Academy meeting aimed to transfer and disseminate lessons learned from earlier RAN meetings as well as examples of working practice on this topic among a broader group of (new) practitioners in the field.

Youth workers are best placed to reach young people online and to do effective digital work with them and one-on-one interventions.

Sports events and organisations are too precious for society to allow extremists to misuse them for their hideous activities. A mixture of repressive and positive measures can safeguard sports.
