Guide to Bochum

The prevention project "Signposts - Together Against Violent Salafism " is a project carried out by IFAK in cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior and Local Affairs of North Rhine-Westphalia .

It is a comprehensive, innovative prevention program against violent Salafism, is intended to prevent the entry into violent Salafism and therefore focuses on young people who are about to become radicalized . With its advice and support for those affected and the social environment, the program starts at an early stage and takes a holistic approach when looking for a solution. It started in the model municipalities of Bochum , Bonn and Düsseldorf and has been extended to numerous other cities and regions in the state.

In the project, personal contacts work on site who have their own experience with Islam. Interior Minister Ralf Jäger drew a first balance sheet in the IFAK in October and praised the commitment and the uniqueness of the project.

Advisory network for cross-border commuters

The “Advice Network Crossing Border Crossers” project is an IFAK eV project that is carried out in cooperation with the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI) and the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) and addresses the problems of those affected by Salafist radicalization . It cooperates with the BAMF's Radicalization Advice Center .

The advisory network follows the approach of reaching young people not directly but through their environment. There is no direct contact with the young people. The idea behind this is that the social environment is most likely to notice radicalization and is also indispensable for deradicalization. You have two goals when it comes to contact with relatives: Firstly, you want to counter the uncertainty of parents when dealing with their children by providing appropriate information. Second, an attempt is made to influence the young people through the relatives. The prerequisite for this is that there is still contact with the family and that the young people have not completely withdrawn from their social environment or, for example, travel to Syria to fight there. With the connection advice network, the advice center has also opened its services to volunteers and full-time workers involved in the topic of migration and flight.

V. stands.
