Key findings

This type of training can consider different themes: polarisation, inclusion and diversity, radicalisation, gender and sexual diversity, subversion and juvenile delinquency. Specific types of collaboration between schools and the governmental training institute on countering radicalisation (e.g. Rijksopleidings-instituut tegengaan Radicalisering, ROR) can offer specific expertise to front-line practitioners to understand, recognise and deal with at-risk individuals towards (violent) extremism. This mmodel also offers skills to teachers to also involve those students who are not used or reluctant to share their views ('the silent middle'). It facilitates dialogue within schools regarding controversial and challenging topics. However, It delegates to teachers the task of dealing with difficult topics when they may not be prepared.
