CEP Webinar: “Transferring Good P/CVE Practices Across Phenomena And Countries”

(New York, N.Y. / Berlin) – Practical experiences and some research studies on knowledge exchange indicate that it seems to be difficult to transfer identified good or inspiring practices across different cultural, legal, political, and social contexts as well as from one country to another. For example, the Danish “Arhus Model” or the Dutch “Safety House” have been serving as role models or points of orientation for many P/CVE multi-agency-approaches in the EU, but there were rarely any actual spin-offs in other countries.

 

The objective of this webinar therefore is to exchange perspectives and findings on which approaches, tools or rules could help transfer good practices in P/CVE across phenomena, contexts, and countries.

 

“Transferring Good P/CVE Practices Across Phenomena and Countries”

Date:   Thursday, January 27, 2022

Time:   9:30 a.m. ET / 15:30 CET – 11:00 a.m. ET / 17:00 CET

 

Guiding questions for the webinar are:

• What are the most relevant similarities or differences between different extremist phenomena, in particular between violence-oriented right-wing extremism/terrorism and violence-oriented Islamist extremism/terrorism in the EU and beyond?
  
  
• How can good practices/lessons learned be transferred effectively across different phenomena of extremism? How can existing experiences in P/CVE of (violent) Islamist extremism effectively strengthen the prevention and countering of right-wing extremism and vice versa?
  
  
• How can good practices/lessons learned be transferred across different legal frameworks and cultural traditions?
  
  
• What are key challenges when scaling successful pilot projects into large programs and how can we overcome them?
  
  
• Which mistakes should not be repeated? In particular, how can the stigmatization of individuals or communities be avoided?
  
  
• Which opportunities and challenges does a “whole of society” approach bring to the P/CVE portfolio?

This webinar is the final event in a virtual event series during which CEP, supported by the Federal Foreign Office of Germany, examines the various challenges emanating from the transnational right-wing extremist and terrorist movement.

 

CEP has compiled a briefing paper on the subject, which can be downloaded here.
