The “Counter Extremism Project Europe” (CEP Europe), a partnership between the European Foundation for Democracy and the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), a U.S.-based advocacy group, seeks to combat the use of social media to radicalise young vulnerable in particular as well as present a compelling and effective counter narrative to reach those most at risk.

Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
