For IMPACT Europe to be able to successfully identify and communicate what works best in countering violent radicalisation, it is important to have input from a wide range of practitioners and professionals actively involved with programmes tackling this issue. By engaging with IMPACT Europe, you will therefore have the opportunity both to help create and to benefit from state of the art evaluation techniques for counter violent radicalisation programmes while also networking with international peers. Get in touch to learn more about the ways in which you and your organisation can be involved.
