How to plan prevention of radicalisation according to best practices and develop it based on experience? How can evaluation be used to improve our work? What should practitioners and those planning interventions know about evaluation? How can AI be utilised in evaluations?
RADIA is organising a hands-on training that addresses program planning and evaluation, specifically in Prevention and Countering Violent Extremism (P/CVE). The training is useful for everyone involved in planning and developing programs, and especially for those applying for external funding for their activities and/or participating in the implementation of the National Action Plan for prevention of radicalisation and extremism. The presentation materials are primarily in English, but Finnish can be used in discussions.
In winter 2026, we are offering the following trainings:
TRAINING II: PROGRAMME DESIGN WITH EVALUATION IN MIND
TRAINING III: INTRODUCTION TO EVIDENCE-BASED EVALUATION
Trainings II and III complement each other, and participation in both is recommended. However, it is also possible to attend only one of them.
Time and place:
-
Training II, Mon 02.02.2026, 9.00–16.00, Metsätalo, Unioninkatu 40, B311, Helsinki
-
Training III, Wed 11.02.2026, 9.00–16.00, Unioninkatu 37, Helsinki
Target group: Professionals at national, regional, and local levels whose work or organisation's work is in some way related to prevention and countering of radicalisation, or to evaluation and development of programs. Participation in the training requires basic knowledge of prevention work on radicalisation and violent extremism (e.g., RADIA Training I or equivalent competence acquired through work).
