New educational materials are available: Depolarisation Activism for Resilient Europe (DARE)

Addressing the challenges of today’s world and empowering young people to shape their environment and take accountability – if you’re an educator and what to do that, check out our new, innovative educational materials!

1️⃣ Lesson plans and videos.
They are divided into two categories:
"DARE to Care" materials show inspiring young individuals who deal with various social problems and challenges and make a difference in their communities. "Modern Challenges" materials deconstruct complex phenomena, providing an introduction to contemporary social issues such as polarisation, radicalisation, and disinformation.

2️⃣ Educators' Guide to Depolarisation
Developed to build teachers’ and youth workers’ skills in the domain of addressing and successfully engaging with polarising views and topics. The guide’s theoretical section uncovers the psychology and sociology of polarisation in society, and it is followed by exercises and activities that build understanding of polarisation and knowledge on how to diffuse or disarm it.

3️⃣ Radicalisation awareness training plan and the accompanying materials
Developed to build teachers’, educators’ and youth workers’ understanding of the process of radicalisation. The training includes short lectures and group discussions and is based on a review of relevant academic material, research evidence and inspiring practices. It raises awareness about the problem of radicalisation and violent extremism, its universality and the danger it poses in Europe, and for European values.

4️⃣ European Values Cards
This card set is a mix of European Union history, philosophy, human rights, democratic values and principles, and contemporary dilemmas and questions about the role and importance of European values in our societies.

➡You’ll find all the materials on this website: https://depolarisation.eu/.
