Comprehensive research provided the European state-of-the-art about current practices to prevent radicalisation in sport and through sport education as well as the grounds for conceiving a Training Format to be piloted locally. Objectives In this frame, two priorities appeared to be particularly relevant to the topic of radicalisation:-Prevention of and fight against violence and intolerance;-Social inclusion in and through sport.Radicalisation is often connected to hate speech and hate narratives. Therefore a great effort was put in preventive measures focusing on:-Helping young people overcome the taboo of extremism; -Challenging aggressive narratives; -Making personal relationships stronger than online contacts.
