The ‘Responding to Far-Right Extremism’ workshop is a follow-up workshop from our ‘Identifying Far-Right Extremism’ workshop that provides participants with a comprehensive overview of the spectrum of far-right extremist hate and violence, both internationally and in Australia.

In this training participants will learn how to use a range of assessment tools and response models that allow them to quickly and reliably assess how vulnerable and at-risk a young person or adult might be to engaging with far-right extremism. These tools and models also assist frontline workers to formulate responses and engage appropriately and effectively with the young person or adult.

While anyone who is interested in building their skills to respond to far-right extremist hate will benefit from this workshop, this session is specifically intended for frontline workers (e.g. youth workers, teachers, social workers, counsellors…) who are in contact with young people or adults who might be at risk of hateful behaviour and/or involvement in right-wing extremism.

To prepare for this workshop, we highly recommend that people first complete our ‘Identifying Far-Right Extremism’ workshop.

About our countering far-right extremism workshops

Racism, hate and extremism are important issues facing young people and adults today.

Young people and adults are routinely targeted online by far-right extremist groups, networks and individuals promoting hateful and violent ideas, narratives and conspiracy theories.

Research shows that the adoption of extremist views is a gradual process, which is best responded to early. People within the community who are in regular contact with the individual are ideally placed to notice changes in a person’s behaviour and to intervene early.

All Together Now’s interactive programs are designed to provide participants with a nuanced understanding of far-right extremism in an Australian context and guidance on how to respond to young people and adults in the early stages of engagement with right-wing extremism.

All our programs and interventions are informed by the observation that far-right extremism produces different forms of hate and violence that are both deep-rooted and intersectional.
