This publication aims to share the findings of the second phase of WP5 research within the CONNEKT project. While the first phase of WP5 examined the drivers and social contexts of radicalization and violent extremism (VE) in the MENA region and the Balkans, this phase is focused on the factors of prevention. Both phases take place at the meso-level involving communities and local stakeholders and realities, in line with the project’s methodology. This work package is the backbone of the project methodology as the meso-level connects both the micro-level and the macro-level findings for a more refined understanding of the social contexts that can have a pivotal role in both radicalization and its prevention. This is also a level enabling a dynamic understanding of social phenomena being studied within CONNEKT.
