Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

The increasing rate of polarization and radicalization has been a growing concern across Europe, both on-the-ground and more recently in the online sphere. Within Central and Eastern Europe in particular, first-line practitioners (FLPs) face an additional set of challenges, including working in a region with an unstable democracy, significant minority groups who continue to be oppressed, including Roma and Travelers, or a surge in right-wing populist parties. In recent years, ideological groups including right- wing, anti-Semitic, and xenophobic groups have taken full advantage of the internet and social media, broadening their reach and their impact as never before. FLPs are often alone, receive little support, and do not have established networks to be able to seek advice from. Indeed, there is a wealth of information available online, but scattered across different websites and requires significant time and effort to sift through. It is clear that working toward prevention requires not only (i) a multi-faceted approach, not only taking traditional securitized P/CVE (Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism) tactics but specifically developing innovative strategies that address the specific issues of the region as well as joint, cross-institutional action by all stakeholders involved. This paper presents a newly- developed online platform developed specifically for FLPs, based on their needs. It is divided into three specific sections which work in an independent but complementary manner, and together provide FLPs with different tools as well as a collaboration platform to support them in their day to day work.
