Project Information

 Many European cities are confronted with forms of violence which can be associated with different types of radicalism. The RAD2CITIZEN project aims to prevent them by establishing a partnership led by Toulouse Métropole, with the city of Malaga (Spain), the University of Applied Social Sciences of Salzburg (Austria) and the KEMEA Institute (Greece).

Acts of violence are more and more visible, they arouse incomprehension, feed the feeling of insecurity of citizens, and contribute to the loss of confidence in the authorities as well as in the actors of public policies. At European and municipalities level, preventing such violence is a challenge.

RAD2CITIZEN contributes to addressing it through a better understanding of these phenomena and the co-production of prevention tools aimed at promoting access to rights and citizenship.

This report is part of the Work Package (WP), where CIFAL MÁLAGA is a lead. This WP relates to managing the resolution and support for identity construction for the largest public in migratory situations. Potential identity-based conflicts and a failure to take this into consideration are a cause for frustration and misunderstanding that fosters radicalization and violence. They therefore constitute a threat to social unity. The aim of this WP is to help to establish a balance between the original cultural identities of migrants and a feeling of belonging to their community of settlement. The balance is based on acceptance of the fundamental values and institutions of the new host community.

The scope of this WP is to improve the content and practices implemented within the EU in relation to identity-based conflicts generated by migratory flows. Through sharing knowledge and further analysis. This Benchmark will serve as a framework that will be included into the specific plan that will be produced further by CIFAL MÁLAGA.

This WP will create an innovative way of understanding the theme of the methodologies for preventing and managing radicalization linked to migratory flows and identity-based conflicts.
