Radicalization leading to violence is a complex phenomenon that is not always easy to identify and understand. This is why the CPRLV, in collaboration with SOFAD, has created a new online learning tool aimed at broadening its mission of education and awareness on the prevention of violent radicalization.
The overall objective of the training is to demystify a certain number of beliefs about radicalization by providing practical knowledge that can be mobilized in your environment, and by giving you the essential keys to understanding the issues involved.
Its asynchronous mode allows anyone to follow and validate learning modules combining theory, activities and case studies on this issue at their own pace. With a maximum duration of 2 hours, this new online learning tool is a good introduction for those who wish to learn about the issue of radicalization leading to violence and its prevention.
A better understanding leads to better prevention!
Specific Objectives:
Duration: 2h
Thanks to the asynchronous format, it is possible to go at your own pace and complete the different modules of the training over several days if you wish.
Target audience: Any public
Prerequisites: None

The training “Resisting conspiracy theories and hate speech in times of crisis” addresses the issue of periods of crisis as contexts conducive to the emergence of conspiracy theories. However, one question remains difficult to answer for both professionals and the public: how to engage in a dialogue with people who adhere to these theories, when the usual argumentative tools do not seem to bear fruit? The CPRLV proposes a training session that allows participants to better understand the appeal of conspiracy theories for certain individuals and to reflect on the needs met by this type of discourse and movement. The training also aims to orient learners towards practices that help them to welcome and dialogue with a person who spreads or adheres to conspiracy ideologies.

Hate-motivated acts are becoming more prominent in our societies. However, some groups are more targeted by hate-motivated acts than others. Members of one or more stigmatized and marginalized groups are at increased risk of hate victimization. The purpose of this presentation is to look at the causes and consequences of these differences in victimization. To do so, it is important to explore some of the conceptual underpinnings; namely, the notions of vulnerability, victimization and intersectionality. In doing so, it is possible to arrive at a better understanding of the different lived experiences of hate.

The main objective of this training will be to offer participants a place to reflect on sensitive issues in the educational context. While Quebec, like other Western nations, is marked by certain political and social issues that are increasingly polarized and polarizing, the training will also be an opportunity to equip educational actors to address these sensitive conversations with youth. Different inclusive and constructive pedagogical practices will be presented, in order to enable youth workers to create open and safe spaces for dialogue with youth.

Social transformations on gender and sexual diversity issues have, in Quebec as elsewhere, provoked negative reactions from movements commonly grouped under the term “Manosphere”. The CPRLV is offering a training session whose objective is to demystify the movements associated with the Manosphere. Thus, in this presentation, we will make sure to detail the main groups that make up the Manosphere and their ideological universe. We will examine the context of emergence of these movements, their mediums, their lexicon and their concrete forms of expression of violence. Finally, this training presents tools for engaging in dialogue with a person claiming to be from the Manosphere.

While new alternative social media have attracted a growing number of extremist groups and individuals due to their lack of content moderation, we are increasingly confronted with complex virtual worlds organized around hateful signs, symbols and expressions. This training offers, first, an answer to the central question: what is hateful and what is not? The CPRLV proposes a conceptual framework to address the phenomenon: participants will be introduced to the concepts of hate-motivated acts, crimes, incidents and speech. Then, a reflection on the various mechanisms and strategies deployed online to disseminate violent and hateful speech will be proposed. The training will also introduce various types and forms of extremist or hateful content found on social media platforms, and reflect on existing and possible solutions to address online hate outbursts.
