In the online debate, the extreme opinions for or against are often the loudest. Think about discussions about refugees and integration. But between the small group of black-and-white thinkers there is a large group with a variety of opinions. Project Grey wants to reinforce these sounds and thereby tackle polarization as well as the processes of radicalization that arise from it.

Social workers
Extreme sounds on social media can lead to verbal and even physical violence. Social workers therefore play an important role at Project Grey.
They are trained to recognize these extreme sounds and then act on them, both online and in their neighborhood.
