This workshop will review current trends, challenges and manifestations of Islamist extremism (IE). In addition, it will explore the specific contexts of participating MS. Each MS will briefly present an overview of the context, strategy and challenges regarding IE in their respective countries. The rest of the workshop will focus more on three selected topics. MS can introduce specific topics of interest, such as (online) recruitment tactics, the role of women in IE movements, local manifestations of IE groups, or other challenges specific to dealing with IE groups or movements.

Each topic will be introduced by an expert speaker and participants will then discuss and exchange experiences in smaller groups. MS will have an opportunity to exchange ideas on national, regional and local measures aimed at dealing with and responding to (violent) IE, and to identify challenges that require extra attention.
