Early interventions of right-wing extremism prevention in the context of schools and youth work

Based on current practical experience in youth work and prevention, the lecture presents different types of right-wing extremist children and young people. Their personality traits, life circumstances and possibilities of pedagogical intervention will be discussed. A central question is how approaches of “early intervention” or event-related prevention can take place within the regular structures of school education and municipal youth welfare, what quality criteria they are subject to - and to what extent they can be implemented in practice. To this end, a legal expertise is also presented that clarifies the relationship between the constitutional mandate to educate and the parental right to educate, and in doing so clarifies the framework and the possibilities of event-related prevention offers on behalf of schools and youth work. The previous findings are in the context of the “Fachstelle Rechtsextremismusprävention” (farp.online) of Cultures Interactive e.V., as part of the competence network for the prevention of right-wing extremism KOMPREX, which is funded by the federal programme “Demokratie leben!”
