REFUGIN 3rd Transnational Partner Meeting in Athens

Talking about REFUGIN project, we are also happy to share that on 5th and 6th of September we participated to the 3rd Transnational Partner Meeting of the REFUGIN project in Athens, to discuss milestones reached, timeline and next steps for the partnership. Together with the practicalities and actions to take for the implementation of the different working packages, there was space dedicated to the exploration of the situation of refugees and young refugees‘ integration/inclusion in Greece, led by KMOP, the host organisation of the meeting.

We as UNITED had the possibility to discover more about this amazing local reality but also to share our work on Mapping promising practices for the inclusion of refugees at European Level, renewing ur commitment for the success of the project.

R2COM project Trainings

Among the calls and initiatives launched in September, it's also worth mentioning the two trainings happening for the R2COM "Radicalisation and Violent Extremism Prevention in the Community," project. The first one is a in person training in Toulouse from 17th to 19th of October and that is primarily focused on increasing awareness about radicalization and violent extremism.

the process of radicalization and its various phases, as delineated by models like the Three Pyramids Model and the Attitudes Behaviors Corrective Model, risk and protective factors according to Kruglanski et al. (2019),

diverse extremist ideologies such as Islamist, right-wing, left-wing, and single-issue extremism,

significant attention will be also given to the context of radicalization in both prison/probation settings and community settings.

For this course UNITED has helped selecting the Hungarian delegation and we're currently also promoting another one, happening online for dedicated professionals from NGOs and CSOs that aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of radicalisation and its implications within the context of post-release from prison.

The course has been specifically tailored for professionals based in 𝗔𝗹𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮, 𝗕𝘂𝗹𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮, 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗜𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘆, 𝗞𝗼𝘀𝗼𝘃𝗼, 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗹, and 𝗦𝘄𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗻. These countries are the home for most of the project partners of the R2COM project, the driving force behind the development of this training course.

As this training is entirely conducted online, through e-Learning, you have the flexibility to progress at your preferred pace. Upon completion, you will receive a Certificate of Achievement as recognition for your efforts.
