Signs of Radicalization – Training by the Centre for Child Protection (University of Kent)
[English only]
The Centre for Child Protection is providing trainings to help young people keep safe online. Their training sessions were designed to raise awareness about online grooming and radicalization. By providing some simulation techniques, participants will learn how young people can be groomed for radicalization via for example online gaming. These sessions allow young people to identify where online grooming may be taking place. They also develop their critical thinking skills and are encouraged to stay safe online. There are questions to each Vlog to generate discussion, as well as worksheets to gather evidence of teaching and learning.

Toolkit for Social Workers
This Toolkit for Social Workers has been developed for professionals who are working with underprivileged youngsters at risk of radicalization. The toolkit provides a brief summary of the theoretical background of radicalization and describes the main current streams of radicalist movements in Europe. The aim of the toolkit is to support social workers in the process of recognising youth who are on their way to radicalization and to present ready to use activities supporting the prevention of radicalization with a special focus on cognitive biases.
Toolkit for Teachers
Here you can find a Toolkit designed for teachers working with students aged 15-18. The Toolkit comprises 11 units – an introductory unit about automatic thinking and cognitive biases and 10 units focused on ten selected biases. Each unit offers a set of activities, with printable worksheets, based on real-life examples from advertising, (social) media, political and social spheres and content developed by extremists.
