Welcome to the first PREPARE project newsletter!
PREPARE is a European Commission funded project which seeks to identify the unique stigmas, vulnerabilities, and resilience factors children may develop in family environments where they are exposed to violent extremism. PREPARE aims to support these children by working with frontline practitioners in six European countries: the Netherlands, Spain, France, Sweden, Germany and Kosovo.
Every five months the project will release a newsletter with project activities and project related content such as blogs, reports, events and conferences.

Introducing the PREPARE project |
|
Promoting collaborative policies of inclusion relating to children of far right and Islamist parents in Western Europe (PREPARE) is an 18-month European funded project which will: - Gather up-to-date knowledge on the vulnerabilities of children raised in radicalised environments and the interventions that are currently implemented by professionals to support these children;
- Develop a Child Vulnerability Intervention tool that will help stakeholders identify vulnerabilities of children and match interventions to be employed to enhance their well-being;
- Create train-the-trainer activities to support professionals involved in disengagement and rehabilitation work;
- Promote collaboration and cooperation by engaging diverse stakeholders in workshops to foster preparedness in European countries.

Using Bayesian modelling, TNO is working on a quantitative model of recruitment in criminality. The model aims to show which factors in the relations between young people and their
parents, peers, schools, and other professionals contribute to being
successfully recruited. The tool strives to help professionals
intervene more effectively in their dealings with vulnerable young people.
