FEX CEO Highlights Prevention's Systemic Impact Against Extremism
FEX, a leading prevention center in Baden-Württemberg, is highlighting the significance of prevention in safeguarding humanity and setting clear boundaries. Its CEO, Mathieu Coquelin, emphasizes the systemic impact of prevention, drawing from successful examples within 'Demokratie leben!' that often go unnoticed by the media.
FEX, or the 'Fachstelle Extremismusdistanzierung Baden-Württemberg', has been at the forefront of extremism prevention since 2015. It has systematically integrated extremism distancing work into youth, social, and educational sectors, developing innovative educational formats and building a statewide network to support professionals. This approach has proven effective, with a strong scientific foundation and practical transfer.
The center offers consultation, workshops, and digital resources to enhance the competence of (social-)pedagogical professionals, volunteers, and civil society initiatives in dealing with radicalization. FEX views project logic as an opportunity, rather than just a risk, to tackle permanent tasks in democracy education and extremism prevention strategically. Notably, the integration of radicalization prevention into the training of pedagogical professionals has shown measurable effectiveness in an evaluated curriculum.
FEX, under the leadership of Mathieu Coquelin, underscores the systemic effects of prevention. By focusing on prevention and strategically addressing extremism, FEX has established itself as a key driver in preserving humanity and drawing clear boundaries, as demonstrated by its successful approaches and measurable results.
