Regional workshops in Germany address child protection and radicalization

Two upcoming professional workshops in Germany will focus on child protection, discrimination, and the prevention of radicalization.

In Berlin, the Landessportbund Berlin (LSB) will host a network meeting for child protection officers from sports clubs on November 12, 2026. The event aims to facilitate professional exchange and provide impulses for grassroots work. Topics include respect and human dignity projects, as well as identifying radicalization, specifically Islamism and Salafism, within the context of child protection in sports.

In Cottbus, Brandenburg, the Netzwerk für Demokratie und Courage will hold a symposium on November 19, 2026, titled “Handy, Hofpause oder Hausordnung – Diskriminierung und Radikalisierung entgegentreten.” The event is designed for educators, teachers, and school administrators to address discrimination in classrooms and online radicalization via smartphones. The program includes workshops on why young people radicalize and how to integrate anti-discrimination protection into school development and child protection concepts.
