Schoolwide Positive Behavior Support for Resilience Against Extremism

<< Objectives >>Our project aims to prevent radicalization in schools by fostering resilience through a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS). By integrating Schoolwide Positive Behavior Support (SWPBS), social-emotional learning (SEL), and mental health promotion, it enhances school climate, social belonging, and critical thinking. This evidence-based framework empowers educators and students, reducing risk factors like social isolation and identity crises while promoting long-term social cohesion.<< Implementation >>The project will develop a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) integrating social-emotional learning (SEL) and school mental health services. Activities include creating a structured 3-tier intervention framework, training educators in risk assessment and VE prevention, and equipping students with critical thinking and leadership skills. Additional initiatives involve peer-led awareness campaigns, teacher peer-support networks, and the evaluation of intervention scalability.<< Results >>Expected results include a school-based risk assessment tool, teacher training modules on VE prevention and mental health literacy, and structured intervention strategies. The project will foster student resilience, strengthen democratic values, and enhance social inclusion. Long-term outcomes include improved student mental well-being, reduced radicalization risks, and a scalable intervention model applicable across EU schools, ensuring broader participation and sustainable impact.
