Challenging Extremism
Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2019 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

Over the last few years Europe has seen an unprecedented rise in extreme-right populist movements becoming more “mainstream” and “acceptable” across many European member states. Indeed in various elections in member states since 2014 the radical right was able to secure between 10% and 25% of votes. According to the EU document 'The European Union and the Challenge of Extremism and Populism' as a result of various European strategies and political 'opportunism' , right-wing politics has 'spread into the public space and pervaded traditionally moderate political discourses in Europe'. These issues are being discussed in the media, within communities and at home, impacting on the views and opinions of our children.These themes have to be handled carefully and sensitively in our multicultural societies hence why the planning for this project has been extensive and the workplan will be conducted by experts in this field and involves young people, parents and members of the wider community in all regions. This project cannot be carried out by one country in isolation. We need a collaborative approach bringing in expertise from across Europe to inform and contribute to this complex issue. Although we are including partners from only 3 countries they are linking to ELAN the European Local Authority Network established by Cardiff Council in 2015. Partners from this network will join partners in this project in a series of planned events thus broadening access to wider base of expertise. The first planned project meeting will coincide with an event in Cardiff aimed at bringing professionals from a extensive number of European countries together to discuss a wide number of essential themes, this being one of them. Our objective is to develop materials for use in primary schools following extensive and detailed teacher training. We recognise that due to the sensitive nature of this project all participating staff need to be highly trained prior to introducing any of these themes in the classroom. Once trained these individuals will work with experts to begin designing lesson plans utilising the collaborative and extensive knowledge and experience available in all countries. All teaching materials will be supported by a series of short films created for and designed by experts, teachers and the wider community. These films will be used as part of the resources developed during the life of this project.The materials will be thoroughly piloted in participating schools before publication and extensive teacher training opportunities for other professionals not involved in this project will be available throughout to widen participation in all regions. Cardiff Council has invited The European Local Authority Network (ELAN) partners from across Europe to the first multiplier event highlighted in this application. This network was established by Cardiff Council in 2015 to bring local authorities together in partnership and collaboration.
