On 6th October 2020 CEP organized a webinar on “Violent Far Right Extremism and Exit”. Keynote presenter was Mr. Robert Örell, member of the steering committee of the EU RAN (Radicalisation Awareness Network).

He spoke about the phenomenon of right wing extremism, the ideology of the offenders, their mindset, their sources of inspiration and their view on the world and society. He also described the several attacks that have taken place between 1980 and 2020.

In the last part of his presentation he mentioned the importance of “Exit work” – the leaving of extremist ideology by working towards a new identity.

After the presentation professor Ioan Durnescu from the University of Bucharest led an interactive session of questions and discussion between himself, Robert Örell and the public.
