Description

Radicalization leading to terrorism is a complex and multi-stage process. Throughout this process, individuals or groups adopt extremist ideologies that justify violence in pursuit of specific political or ideological goals.

According to Europol’s EU TE-SAT 2024 report, a total of 120 terrorist attacks were recorded in the European Union in 2023. Of these, 98 were successful, 9 failed, and 13 were thwarted. The highest number of attacks were carried out by separatist groups (70 attacks), followed by far-left and anarchist groups (32 attacks), and jihadist groups (14 attacks). This data highlights the persistent threat of terrorism in Europe. Therefore, as part of this project, we undertake actions aimed at preventing radicalization and countering extremism.

The EU Knowledge Hub on Prevention of Radicalisation brings together practitioners, policymakers, and researchers engaged in radicalization prevention. Within the Knowledge Hub, various activities such as events, workshops, training sessions, and study visits will be organized to enhance radicalization prevention and strategic communication. Additionally, upon request from EU member states and priority third countries, specialized consultations may be offered in selected areas. The Hub also conducts in-depth analyses to identify and address gaps in existing research and knowledge resources within the EU. Furthermore, forecasts on future trends and the evolution of radicalization will be developed.

Goals

  • Aligning local and national strategies through collaboration among government entities, NGOs, and civil society organizations.
  • Addressing underlying causes while promoting social cohesion and inclusion.
  • Engaging a wide range of stakeholders for a coordinated response.
  • Strengthening the role of local actors and civil society groups in prevention efforts.
  • Adapting interventions to local and regional needs.
  • Combating online radicalization and extremist narratives.
  • Utilizing evidence-based insights and future-oriented planning.
  • Partnering with key third countries to enhance international cooperation.

The role of PPHS in the EU Knowledge Hub

PPHS’s role in the EU Knowledge Hub on Prevention of Radicalisation focuses on training, analysis, and strategic support.

We serve as the Leader of the Training Component, responsible for preparing and organizing training sessions, providing mentoring for future professionals and policymakers engaged in radicalization prevention, and coordinating mutual job shadowing for practitioners, researchers, and policymakers. Additionally, we support the secretariat of Thematic Panel 4, which focuses on the local dimension, polarization, and resilience building.

Furthermore, we develop the evaluation methodology for activities implemented within the EU Knowledge Hub to effectively assess their impact and identify areas for further improvement. Our efforts align with a broader strategy of radicalization and extremism prevention, contributing significantly to countering terrorist threats in Europe.

    Przemysław Dobrzyński

    Starszy Specjalista ds. Komunikacji

    Dołączyłem do Platformy w listopadzie 2017 roku. Przez długi czas byłem odpowiedzialny za realizację krajowych i europejskich projektów związanych z bezpieczeństwem. W związku z dynamicznym rozwojem PPBW oraz powstaniem Działu Komunikacji, zająłem się promocją i upowszechnianiem rezultatów naszych działań.

    Obecnie koordynuję komunikację projektów finansowanych przez UE z obszaru bezpieczeństwa. Do moich obowiązków należy również zarządzanie kanałami online PPBW oraz wspieranie zespołu w bieżących pracach.

    Posiadam szeroki zakres umiejętności, który pozwala mi realizować różnorodne zadania, takie jak tworzenie treści (teksty, zdjęcia, wideo), planowanie strategii komunikacyjnych i procesów, budowanie społeczności i relacji, a także administrowanie platformami online.

    Przemyslaw Dobrzynski

    Senior Communication Specialist at the Polish Platform for Homeland Security

    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.

    I currently serve as the Communication & Dissemination Manager for EU-funded security projects. My responsibilities also include managing the online channels run by PPHS and supporting the team with ongoing tasks.

    I have a broad set of skills, enabling me to handle a variety of tasks such as content creation (texts, photos, videos), communication and process planning, community and relationship building, as well as managing online platforms.
