December 11-13, 2024, the CSLP hosted the first in-person meeting of the Transatlantic Network Against Extremism (TransNex), with a 3-day conference that brought together international researchers into violent extremism to share and reflect on best practices in the prevention of social polarization, and to brainstorm the next steps needed to move toward an international community for practitioners working to support schools as spaces of belonging within communities.
TransNex is a joint initiative of the SOCLES International Centre for Socio-Legal Studies based in Germany, and the Canadian Practitioners Network for the Prevention of Radicalization and Extremist Violence (CPN-PREV). The group was established as a transatlantic network focused on consolidating collaborations among practitioners from Canada and Germany to share practices and experiences on the prevention of social polarisations.
