Beyond Us and Them. Podcast on radicalization in the times of social polarization

Frequency: 1 episode/49d. Total Eps: 7

Increased social and political polarisation encourages deepening radicalisation and the spread of extremist views. Various attempts are made in Europe to counter this, but there is still much to be done and new challenges are on the horizon. We look at these issues in interviews with people exploring or preventing these phenomena in different countries. Together we try to understand the processes undermining our democracies and to identify concrete solutions to stop the situation from deteriorating. Podcasts are developed in REDE project, implemented in DISCO programme of the CoE and EU.

Wednesday, January 5, 2022 • Duration 55:04

Francesco Ragazzi from the University of Leiden tells Filip Pazderski about counter-radicalisation in European schools. He particularly highlights the dangers of trying to identify cases of radicalised young people, linked to human rights violations. He raises questions about the limits of educational staff's entry into the role of police and the changes in the philosophy of law enforcement, where more and more emphasis is placed on predicting who might commit a crime. He also points out that in trying to protect ourselves from violence by radicalised individuals who undermine our freedoms and personal rights, we ourselves may be choosing to hand them over to law enforcement...

Tuesday, December 28, 2021 • Duration 37:39

A conversation with Patricia Hladschik, Director of polis - the Austrian Centre for Civic Education in Schools, on why education, including civic one, is not a kind of fire brigade, but when conducted systematically builds a solid foundation to counter radicalisation and violent extremism in society. Sometimes simple and proven teaching methods are better than very sophisticated innovations. However, it is important to bear in mind the preparation of the educators themselves, who should reflect on their own competences for working with such difficult subjects. We also discuss how they can complement each other in local communities with social workers

In the first part of the podcast we talk to Dr Lukasz Jurczyszyn about why interest in the process of radicalisation has increased worldwide after the terrorist attacks of the early 2000s, and explain that radicalisation should not only be viewed stereotypically from the perspective of these events. We also look at places where radicalisation is more prevalent than elsewhere and identify examples of how to counter such developments at the local communities level...
