The latest edition of the EU Knowledge Hub on Prevention of Radicalisation newsletter is now available.
This month’s edition highlights key activities bringing together policymakers, researchers, practitioners, victims, and representatives from victims’ associations through strategic meetings and specialised trainings across Europe and beyond. It also shares updates on preparations for the 2026 European Remembrance Day for Victims of Terrorism, reinforcing a united message of solidarity and the European Commission’s continued commitment to victim- and survivor-centred action.
The newsletter also features insights from both EU and international contexts, including a portrait of Linda Schlegel and her work on digital cultures and storytelling in prevention, reflections on EU–Sahel cooperation, and analysis of evolving extremist networks and global jihadist dynamics. Additional articles explore developments in Iran, reintegration challenges following departures from Al Hol camp, and introduce the Faith Guardian platform supporting the protection of places of worship.
Readers can also discover new resources, including the Digital Tree of Remembrance initiative, the Handbook on Antisemitism, upcoming events, the EU Knowledge Hub welcome package video, and three new Conclusion Papers.
