The role of cities in addressing anti-minority and far-right activism

This timely discussion, organised by the Strong Cities Network, will explore the rising threats posed by anti-minority and far-right activism, as well as associated conspiracy theory and anti-COVID-19 protest movements in cities across the US and Europe. Experts and local leaders will come together to take part in this online panel discussion and share their own experiences of responding to anti-minority and far-right activism.

Panelists will also share findings from a recent CREST funded study ‘Hot periods’ of anti-minority activism and the threat of violent domestic extremism: Towards an assessment framework led by researchers from Coventry University, Center for Research on Extremism (C-REX), University of Oslo and the Institute for Strategic Dialogue – delving into how the findings of this study can generate new policy- and practice-relevant insight for practitioners and city leaders grappling with these issues around the world.

The online discussion takes place on March 8, 14:00 – 15:15 CET.
