Overarching Aim: Develop a comprehensive approach
to prevent and counter violent radicalisation and
extremism.
The PERICLES project will deliver advanced and validated counter-propaganda techniques
that are target group specific, with a special focus on the risks associated with digital violent
propaganda. The comprehensive PERICLES prevention strategy will largely address law
enforcement agencies (LEAs), but will also find use by prisons and social workers,
teachers, and even relatives of affected people.
Issues of concern:
Right-wing radicalisation and extremism
Religious radicalisation and extremism
Left-wing radicalisation and extremism
July 2018To organise the work of PERICLES and ensure goals are achieved, a
structured framework was designed, compromised of eighth work
packages:
WP 1: Workup of existing tools and policies towards a holistic understanding of prevention: establish a
common frame of reference which initiates the development and operationalisation of the PERICLES concept.
WP 2: Needs assessment and case studies: identifies the requirements of end-users and the radicalisation
vulnerability risks which play a key role within PERICLES.
WP 3: Modelling: development of a series of models that provide the technical backbone for the development of
tools.
WP 4: Tool development: a multi-disciplinary, holistic suite of tools will be developed to advance practical
mechanisms which can be used to identify, intervene and support individuals at risk of radicalisation.
July 2018WP 5: Validation: continual feedback of the PERICLES toolkit will be assessed and evaluated to inform its refinement and eventual validation. WP 6: Legal and ethical supervision: consistent legal and ethical monitoring of PERICLES to ensure that the development of tools to identify early signs of radicalisation do not endanger citizens’ rights to liberty, privacy and security. WP 7: Communication and dissemination: this task outlines the strategies used to expand the PERICLES toolkit end-users base and spread the news of PERICLES activities, publications, and deliverables. WP 8: Project Management: overall management of the project, including the management of the consortium and quality management.
PERICLES Toolkit: the PERICLES Project will produce a
suite of advanced tools for the radicalisation prevention
and countering domain, including:
• A cyber-space detection system that will identify online extremist activities by navigating the Deep and
Dark Web.
• An enhanced platform of exchange will be generated that provides end-users with a more efficient
interface for the exchange of information and best practice between the relevant actors.
• A vulnerability assessment tool will be developed that combines a variety of risk indicators of the
individuals, such as their religion, family circumstances, personal factors and local resources, in order to
create a risk evaluation with recommended actions that can be taken.
• A family care package of tailored material will be produced that can be delivered to the family members
of those at risk of radicalisation.
• An updated skills and competencies package for counter radicalisation will be developed for front line
staff in order to increase their knowledge, awareness and understanding of radicalisation for better
preparedness.
• Development of a tailor made system of new counter radicalisation measures based on an enhancement
of available tools and the development of new target specific instruments.Partners: The PERICLES Project is conducted by a
collaboration of 15 organisations from European
Countries.
