Participants of the trainings noticed that in times of rapid spread of the phenomenon of radicalization, taking up this topic, learning the mechanism and methods of prevention is extremely important, and space for interdisciplinary discussion is necessary. Many times, the participants emphasized that the composition of the groups participating in the meeting was advantage, as it allowed for discussion considering various aspects of the phenomenon.

    I’ve been working at PPHS since November 2017. For a long time, I was responsible for implementing both international and national security projects. As PPHS developed and the Communication Department was established, I was promoted to a role focused entirely on communication.
