O1 – State of the Art and Best Practices Review
Lead by Université Toulouse - Jean Jaurès
Description
Partners will capture a national and European image of existing theory and practice on the prevention of radicalisation leading to violent extremism, de-radicalisation and disengagement practices in the criminal justice context. Using desk and field research, the specific objectives of this Output are to:
  • ​Provide a review of existing studies on radicalisation the prevention of radicalisation leading to violent extremism, de-radicalisation and disengagement programmes targeting inmates/ex-inmates at European Level and country-level (in France, Greece, Portugal, Italy, and Bulgaria); and
  • ​Map the current state of prevention strategies/efforts to promote individual deradicalization and disengagement for inmates or ex-inmates in the community at risk of radicalisation or who have been radicalised, identifying similarities and differences between programs, as well as establishing factors that contribute to their effectiveness.
​Activities
O1/A1. State of the Art Analysis and Best Practices

O1/A2. Collection of approaches, lessons learned and practices in the field of prevention strategies/efforts to promote individual de-radicalisation and disengagement for inmates or ex-inmates in the community at risk of radicalisation or who have been radicalised in European countries

O2 – Needs and Radicalisation Risk Assessment
Lead by Center for the Study of Democracy
Description
The specific objectives of O2 are to:
  1. Identify and assess the needs of different stakeholders (prison and probation staff, agencies and community partners working with inmates) involved in the process of tackling radicalisation leading to violent extremism both inside and outside prisons, taking into account the local specificity (e.g., national legal systems);
  2. Diagnose the situation in the prison and probation services that participate in the project regarding the risk of radicalisation and extremism.​
​Activities
O2/A1. Development of focus groups and interviews with key stakeholders

O2/A2. Radicalisation Risk Assessment
​
O2/A3. Analysis of the collected data

O3 – INTEGRA Mentoring Model and Programme
Lead by Università Degli Studi di Brescia
Description
Within this Output, INTEGRA partnership will develop a mentor model for providing social support, opportunities of disengagement, and help build trust-based relationships, for example with staff, community members and NGO professionals. The target group are inmates who are vulnerable to extremism.
​The mentoring model and programme is based on the establishment of a close working relationship between the mentor and the mentee, in order to help inmates become better at tackling everyday situations, problems and conflicts. The role of the mentor will be to support and strengthen the inmate’s motivation to opt for a crime free lifestyle when released.
​Activities
O3/A1. Development of the INTEGRA mentoring model

O3/A2. Selection and training of mentors

O3/A3. Piloting and fine-tuning of the INTEGRA mentoring model

O4 – INTEGRA Radicalisation prevention training programme for prisons, probation and community
Lead by IPS_Innovative Prison Systems 
Description
The present Output plays a major role in preventing radicalisation and raising knowledge and awareness regarding (de) radicalisation. The following approaches will be the focus of this training programme, with the aim to reduce risk, and provide specific competencies to prison, probation and community organisations, namely: (i) understanding radicalisation and as well as individual, social and environmental reasons for prisoners’ behaviour; (ii) risk assessment and support; (iii) de-radicalisation, focusing on preventing or abandoning radical views and beliefs; (iv) disengagement, emphasising behavioural change; (v) social and organisational support for release (vi) sensitivity and understanding of cultural and religious norms, values and expressions, among others.
​Activities
O4/A1. INTEGRA competences blueprint development

O4/A2. INTEGRA Radicalisation prevention training course development:

O4/A3. Piloting and fine-tuning of the training course

O5 – INTEGRA e-Learning training course technical development
Lead by IPS_Innovative Prison Systems 
Description
Output 5 consists in an e-learning course and complementary materials. The distance learning course will be developed so that it can be used also in a blended learning format. The e-learning training course will be piloted in prison, probation and community organisations and fine-tuned after piloting feedback collection.
​Activities
O5/A1. Learning Management System (LMS) setup
​
O5/A2. E-learning content development and multimedia design

O5/A3. Piloting and fine-tuning of the e-learning programme

O6 – INTEGRA "Train the trainer" course
Lead by IPS_Innovative Prison Systems 
Description
The present output will consist of a "Train the trainer" course. This course will ensure the dissemination and sustainability of the proposed approach over time since different groups of professionals will be trained as trainers and can, therefore, train others. The train the trainer course will be piloted in prison, probation and community organisations and fine-tuned after piloting feedback organisation.
​Activities
06/A1. Development of a training course for trainers

O6/A2. Piloting and fine-tuning of the train the trainer course 
Description
This Output aims to provide policy-makers, prison and probation agencies and community organisations with guidelines for multi-agency cooperation in regards to the topic at hand, namely the prevention of radicalisation and the management of Violent Extremist Offenders (VEOs) and individuals considered at risk of engaging in violent extremism in a prison and probation context. A one-size-fits-all solution does not exist because EU Member States vary in many ways, including in legislation and how prison and probation systems are organised. However, multi-agency cooperation is crucial in the management of risks related to radicalisation and to ensure that violent extremist offenders are provided with opportunities for rehabilitation.
​Activities
O7/A1. Development of a multi-agency guide

O7/A2. Policy recommendations for a multi-agency approach
