The IN2PREV project ‘Law enforcement, community cooperation, and empowerment approach to prevent radicalisation by ensuring the successful inclusion of refugees’ is a European project that started in September 2022 in which the Euro-Arab Foundation for Higher Studies collaborates as a member, together with partners from Poland, Portugal, Romania, Republic of Moldova, Slovakia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The project aims to facilitate the integration of refugees and asylum seekers and prevent their radicalisation through early identification of vulnerability risk factors. The successful inclusion of refugees as a means to prevent radicalisation is an issue that, despite its recognised importance and growing concern, has not received adequate attention and action, and is often treated with highly securitising approaches. To achieve this purpose, the project focuses on:
This project is motivated by the refugee crisis that has been affecting Europe since 2015 (albeit historically), with asylum seekers arriving from war-torn countries. Despite the difficulties caused by COVID-19, almost 100,000 people made their way to Europe’s borders in early 2021. In the same year, Mediterranean countries saw an even higher number of arrivals by sea. In addition, 2022 presented new challenges due to the Russian war in Ukraine, when millions of people fled to neighbouring countries.
The new tool, created in the framework of the European IN2PREV project, will allow the assessment of different vulnerability and risk factors of refugees and asylum seekers.
In the framework of the European project IN2PREV, the Euro-Arab Foundation has explained to the participating social entities the mentoring pilot project in which they can participate and whose aim is to achieve the successful inclusion of refugees and asylum seekers in Spain.
