The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) introduced a practical handbook for educators to combat early signs of radicalisation in French youth during a discussion on “Secularism and Prevention of Radicalisation.” An increasing number of young people in France are being radicalised by recruitment campaigns put in place by terrorist organisations. “Adolescents and young adults are the most exposed to this threat and it is to them that priority is given,” CEP’s website stated. “When students become radicalised, teachers often feel helpless.” The handbook is meant to raise educators’ awareness and ensure they recognise when a student shows signs of radicalisation. The guide also provides teachers with knowledge and tools to be proactive when faced with sensitive situations and polarising topics.
Extremists: Their Words. Their Actions.
