IPS to lead the European learning hub on radicalisation prevention

Running till the end of 2022, HOPE project is a networking hub to support training and knowledge sharing on radicalisation in the Balkan, Southern and Eastern Europe.

IPS Innovative Prison Systems will lead the “HOPE – HOlistic radicalisation Prevention initiativE” consortia, supported by the EEA and Norway Grants Fund for Regional Cooperation under its Justice and Home Affairs priority.
