GATED collaborates with sister project PERICLES

The overall aim of the PERICLES project is to develop a comprehensive approach to prevent and counter violent radicalisation and extremism. The PERICLES project (Policy recommendation and improved communication tools for law enforcement and security agencies preventing violent radicalisation) is especially dedicated to processes of radicalisation. To meet its aims, PERICLES considers violent right-wing as well as religious ideologies. A special focus is set on the risks connected with digital violent propaganda. The PERICLES project will deliver advanced and validated counter-propaganda techniques that are target-group-specific. Furthermore, the cooperation between relevant authorities who have due regard against violent radicalisation or support the process of de-radicalisation will be enhanced through the use of the project outputs. The comprehensive PERICLES prevention strategy will therefore largely address law enforcement agencies (LEAs) and security agencies; but will also find use by prisons and social workers, teachers and relatives of affected people. Dr Halilovic-Pastuovic of GATED project is a partner in the PERICLES project consortium mainly in charge of collection and analysis of qualitative data and dissemination activities.
