Background and topic of the meeting

Working online is an increasingly important aspect of P/CVE practitioners’ work, a development that has been going on for years, and which received a significant push during the pandemic, when offline life was severely restricted. In recent years, RAN Practitioners has therefore continuously addressed the topic of online P/CVE work and related topics such as extremist content and recruitment online. The RAN Practitioners thematic event on ‘Online interventions,’ which will take place in Zagreb (HR) on 24 April 2024, will focus on the online dimension of first line practitioners’ daily practice. We will exchange on online interventions and how first line practitioners do (part of) their job online. We will also explore online referrals mechanisms and how online-offline interventions can be integrated. The target audience for this meeting is very specific: we will only invite P/CVE practitioners who have experience with working online and only exit workers, youth workers and community police officers.
