ARENAS will organise several events throughout the project to share key research findings. Learn about upcoming and past events here.
The Autonomous University of Barcelona will host an international conference next September to address some key topics of the ARENAS project. Going Extreme: History, Narratives and the Threat to Democracies in Europe will be held at the Center de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB) from September 25th – 27th.
What are the historical roots of the main extremist narratives currently circulating in Europe? How have they transformed over the last century? How have they been adapted to different historical and national contexts? How do they circulate and how are they disseminated in the present time in the political space and the media?
These questions will be addressed during the three days of the conference. The event will open on the afternoon of September 25 with an inaugural debate on democracy, youth and extremism in which the Minister of Youth and Children of the Government of Spain, Sira Rego, the former Minister of Universities of the Government of Spain, Joan Subirats, and the journalist of El País Milagros Pérez Oliva will participate.
