Trainings
Our trainings cover a wide range of key topics and are designed for professionals working in the field of disengagement. Each session can be tailored to your needs and combines theoretical foundations and deeper insights with practical case studies and tools for professional reflection and intervention.
Our offerings are suitable for both beginners and experienced professionals, as well as for individuals and teams. We work in small, interactive group settings to encourage active participation. Trainings can be conducted in-house or at the Violence Prevention Network’s headquarters in Berlin.
Secondary Prevention: Early Intervention
Radicalisation processes rarely occur in isolation. They are embedded in social, political, and personal dynamics – often linked to experiences of marginalisation, crisis, or a desire for belonging. Our secondary prevention programs are designed for professionals who support individuals in early, potentially vulnerable stages of radicalisation.
The goal is to be sensitive to warning signs, build meaningful relationships, and strengthen individual resources before harmful ideologies take root. Secondary prevention seeks to intervene at the earliest possible stage of the radicalisation process.
Core topics:
Recognising early signs of radicalisation, constructive intervention strategies and methods, developing sustainable and discrimination-sensitive prevention approaches.
Target audience:
Pedagogues, social workers, government officials, and professionals in the prevention field.
Tertiary Prevention: Supporting Disengagement
Tertiary prevention means engaging directly with individuals, regardless of how deeply they are embedded in radicalised structures. Rather than focusing on deficits, we promote self-efficacy, encourage critical reflection, and open perspectives beyond ideological frameworks.
Our hands-on trainings provide approaches to support a sustainable departure from violence-justifying and “extremist” mindsets and behaviours, considering both individual life situations and broader social contexts. The goal is to guide this process with sensitivity and to create pathways to a life beyond ideology and violence.
Core topics:
Building trusting relationships, facilitating processes of reflection and transformation, and promoting multi-agency collaboration within the individual’s social environment.
Target audience:
Professionals working with radicalised individuals who wish to deepen their knowledge and skills.
