About
The webinar aims to examine the dynamics of jihadist radicalization in the Sahel region. A situation whose effects also affect migration flows towards the Mediterranean area. The analysis will be carried out by various experts of the central African area and by international operators and institutions that have been working in that context for many years.
In particular, the afternoon panel will reflect on what synergies and forms of collaboration can be established in the future between the PriMED network and these social actors in the spirit of Third Mission which inspires the university system.

- Training of the actors of integration policies and fight against radicalization operating in local authorities, prefectures, penitentiary administration and state police, schools, social and health structures and in the economic field;
