Preventie van gewelddadig extremisme

Radicalisation and violent extremism need to be tackled through a strong preventative approach as well as just repressive responses, which are not sufficient on their own. A prevention policy must mobilise local partnerships for delinquency prevention and social cohesion to strengthen individual and group resilience to the risks of radicalisation. Through their proximity to citizens, their understanding of local issues and their skills in public policies for the prevention of crime and for social cohesion, local and regional authorities are strategically placed to implement actions and mobilise all local stakeholders concerned.

Europees Forum voor Veiligheid in de Steden

Between September 2014 and December 2017, the European Forum for Urban Security (Efus) led, with funding from the European Commission, the LIAISE “Local institutions against violent extremism” project for exchanging and strengthening the capacities of European local authorities for the implementation of prevention projects against violent radicalisation.

The briefings are aimed at an audience of policy makers, security practitioners, academics and graduate students, journalists, and civil society stakeholders who want to extend their knowledge of various topics related to violent online political extremism, and to network with specialists on this issue. Given the post-electoral context in Belgium and the increased presence of extremist discourse on social media, this series aims at providing Belgian and European stakeholders with food for thought and action, allowing them to engage in national or local debate.

Handvatten voor de preventie en omgang met polarisering en radicalisering in Brussel en de Vlaamse rand

Samen met de Vlaamse Overheid, de Vlaamse Gemeenschapscommissie en de Vlaamse Vereniging voor Steden & Gemeenten, werkte Brussel Preventie en Veiligheid Handvatten voor de preventie en omgang met polarisering en radicalisering in Brussel en de Vlaamse rand.

Scholen, welzijnsorganisaties, jeugd- en sportverenigingen
BPV zet zich in om polarisering en radicalisering te voorkomen. De handvatten willen specifiek ondersteuning bieden aan scholen, welzijnsorganisaties, jeugd- en sportverenigingen in het Brussels Gewest en de Vlaamse Rand. Jongeren kunnen namelijk in hun ontwikkeling vatbaar zijn voor een zwart-wit polariserend en radicaliserend discours. Voor de betrokken actoren is het bovendien vaak moeilijk om in te schatten hoe best te reageren.
De handvatten wijzen de weg naar:

• • welke (preventieve) maatregelen je kan ondernemen per sector,
  • hoe je omgaat met verontrustende signalen,
  • welke rol een jeugdnetwerk en sport kunnen spelen,
  • welke actoren actief zijn in Brussel of de Vlaamse Rand.

• Raadpleeg de “handvatten voor de preventie en omgang met polarisering en radicalisering in Brussel en de Vlaamse rand”.
