Watch the “Radicalisation in Central and Eastern Europe” Webinar Recordings

Over the past weeks, three European projects MINDb4ACT, CHAMPIONs and BRAVE funded under the H2020 and ISF-P European Commission programmes joined their forces to create an online conference on “Radicalisation in Central and Eastern Europe – trends, challenges and opportunities to counteract”, organised into 3 sessions. In case you missed the #RADPOL2020 Webinar Series, you have the chance to re-watch them at your leisure. Don’t miss the chance to see how three #European projects can contribute to #policy and #practice.
