RecoRa Institute

The RecoRa Institute develops local expertise to counter radicalisation and violent extremism. RecoRa de-signs Train the Trainer-training and developments resources on understanding and responding to radicalisation, and train local people to cascade this within their organisation and supply accompanying resources. The aim of the train the trainer programme is to train local organisations, and individuals to use learning re-sources that have a proven ability to increase the active engagement of front liners and community members in tackling ideological violence.

RecoRa designs tailored learning materials that build knowledge and expertise to recognise and respond to radicalisation, counter extremist messages, and reduce factors that restrict local engagement in preventative action. Local people are then trained to use these resources. Learning resources include one or two-day training programmes; Intensive master classes; community learning event; as well as youth development resources for schools. RecoRa has also developed a digital online learning resource on safeguarding against radicalisation.

RecoRa also recruits local influential individuals and train them to become effective in de-radicalisation practice as Quality Assured (QA) mentors. The programme to quality assure local mentors aims to ensure that local neighbourhoods have expert individuals who are able to provide counter messaging support within a neighbourhood context and provide mentoring support to exit individuals from extreme violent groups or ideologies. The programme works by assessing talented local people and designing learning programmes that enhance their skills; enabling them to undertake the required activities. The designed programme includes methods to ensure that the individuals who are trained are assessed as competent to undertake such services.
