Orpheus Event

Het Orpheus project is een Interreg 2-zeeën programma en loopt eind november af. Het project gaat over het ontwikkelen van methodes om jongeren sterker en weerbaar te maken tegen polarisatie, extremisme en radicalisering. Zo werd in samenwerking met partners uit Vlaanderen, Frankrijk, Nederland en de UK geëxperimenteerd met on- en offline safe spaces voor jongeren. Het project wordt afgesloten met dit Orpheus event in Mechelen.
