PrEval – Zukunftswerkstätten

PrEval (Eva­luation and Quality Manage­ment in Extremism Preven­tion, Demo­cracy Promo­tion and Civic Education: Analysis, Moni­toring, Dialogue) is a research and transfer project that further develops and re­designs formats and structures to strengthen eva­luation and quality manage­ment in extremism prevention, demo­cracy promotion and civic edu­cation in Germany.

PrEval is an open net­work and invites everyone to join the dis­cussions in various workshops (“Zukunfts­werkstätten”) around needs for support services, know­ledge net­works and evaluation data­bases.

The pro­ject is funded by the German Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI)  with a du­ration from Oc­tober 2022 to December 2025.
