The main text reads: Extreme Right Aware 23 May 2025 10am to 3.30pm Waterside Campus Sunley Hotel The extreme right space is fast-changing and complex. What risks does it pose? What draws people to such extremism? How does it cultivate violence and even terrorism? What can be done to tackle it? Updated for 2025, this Extreme Right Aware CPD workshop will explore the history of the extreme right, help you identify extreme-right groups and messaging, and explore how they organise and campaign – including in the online space. The day-long CPD workshop offers an important introduction to those new to this area, will deepen knowledge, and acts as a refresher for those already experienced working on the extreme right. Lunch and refreshments are provided, and parking is available. Tickets are £20, and free tickets are available for charities and educational groups, or as incentives for group bookings.
