More and more often – both on the street and online – we witness aggression, hatred, and violence permeating our relationships, schools, and public spaces, affecting children and adults alike. This process, which we can call radicalization, is the topic of a panel discussion that will focus on why it occurs and how we can deal with it – from the perspective of parents, teachers, young people, voters, and politicians. We will ask how politics, language, and public communication are becoming radicalized, and what role the media and cultural narratives play in this. Can they open up space for understanding, or do they deepen divisions and thus radicalization?
