This one-day training package is aimed at people whose work engages with the Prevent Agenda and want a deeper understanding of the British and international extreme right. It will include short lectures, interactive group activities and opportunities to network with other professionals working in the field.
Detailed Description
The extreme right space is fast changing and complex. What draws people to such extremism? What ideologies underpin the extreme right? What narratives do they use to recruit? How do they network online? What risks do they pose? How do we separate the extreme from the mainstream?
Updated for 2025, this Extreme Right Aware CPD workshop will explore the history of the extreme right, help you identify extreme-right groups and messaging, and explore how they organise and campaign – including in the online space.
The day-long CPD workshop offers an important introduction to those new to this area, will deepen knowledge, and acts as a refresher for those already experienced working on the extreme right.
There will be short lectures followed by group activities, as well as plenty of opportunities for informal discussion and networking with other practitioners. The day will include a buffet lunch and refreshments, included in the small registration fee, and we will have a number of free places available for charitable and educational organisations.
Sessions will be led by Prof. Paul Jackson and Dr Daniel Jones. For more details about the team’s research profile, please check out Prof Jackson and Dr Jones PURE pages.
