Seeking to build local resilience, Exit Hate in partnership with The Mayor of London will deliver the Resilience Advocate Programme to upskill professionals via in-depth training to not just be aware of what far-right extremism and misogyny are but also to become capable of doing something about it.

Developing attendees’ confidence to have initial difficult conversations, this project will train frontline staff who work with susceptible communities so they can provide a listening ear and people do not feel they have to go to extremists to be heard.

By attending the training people will walk away understanding how people can become radicalised, signs to look out for and what they can do to help others in risk of radicalisation.

The sessions will cover:

• What is the extreme right-wing (ERW)
• How does it recruit /operate
• Signs of radicalisation and how to have difficult conversations
• Radicalisation process explained
• ERW groups to look out for
• What is the local ERW picture
• ERW numbers explained
• Alternative narratives to challenge ERW ideas
• Critical thinking and build real-life resilience to extremism
• Connections between the Extreme Right-Wing and mixed ideologies such as the Incel movement and the manosphere
• Inclusive Patriotism explained
• Educational materials included
• Access to online support forum

Content Warning: sessions will discuss far-right extremism with references to hate crimes, racism and violence.
