He was talking about radicalization and the prevention of radicalization, and we saw the documentary “The Warriors from the North” about young Danes joining the terror organization Al-Shabaab. After them we continued on Project work and we finished with the traditional gala (prom) dance at Danish high schools.

Thursday was exclusively focused on finishing the project work. After a short introduction to today's tasks the students were working with the theme radicalization in smaller groups consisting of a student from each country. The teachers from the participating countries provided assistance to the groups as needed.
The students produced infographic posters about issues like the following:

• What is radicalization?

• Why is radicalization a problem?
• Is radicalization a growing problem?
• Radicalization problems today in Finland, Iceland, Slovakia, Denmark. What can be done to prevent radicalization?
