Course details

This e-learning module aims to provide professionals, involved in secondary education, with theoretical and practical resources to help them understand and address the issues they face around polarisation and radicalisation in schools. 

By means of theoretical information, exercises, cases and videos, we try to help you gain a better understanding of polarisation and radicalisation. We will also give you several tools that can help you address and counteract polarisation and radicalisation at school. 

The course is organised in 5 parts:

  • Introduction of the course
  • The issues of radicalisation in the broadest sense. 
  • How to understand the phenomenon of polarisation?
  • How to act upon radicalisation and polarisation?
  • Course conclusion
