Save The Dream and its ‘Radical (Ex)Change’ project partners hold expert group meetings

Within the framework of its project “Network for the Exchange of Good Practices on the Integration of Youngsters at Risk of Radicalisation through Sports” dubbed the Radical (Ex)Change, Save the Dream organised a series of national expert focus groups starting with meetings in the UK and Italy which will be followed by additional events in Spain, Belgium, and Greece in the coming weeks.

The project is funded by the EU’s Directorate-General for Education and Culture, and jointly designed with the International Olympic Truce Centre (IOTC) as the project lead, involving other international partners such as the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) and European Multisport Club Association (EMCA).

The national expert focus group meetings will gather over 60 experts including representatives from the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT) and United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI), as well as other regional and local organizations, grassroots associations, NGOs, counselling boards, municipalities, academic institutions, and experts in the prevention of marginalisation and radicalisation through sport.
