Associate Partnerships
Another part of the dist[ex] network are the associate partnerships, which offer civil society practitioners working in the field of disengagement, deradicalisation and exit programmes throughout Germany the opportunity to contribute their expertise and experience. Civil society projects involved in distancing and exit work (in the areas of right-wing extremism, Islamist extremism, ideological issues, etc.) can actively participate in the dist[ex] cooperation network from 2026 onwards and help shape key issues in distancing and exit work. This also includes church and other denominational services.
The prerequisite for becoming an A.P. at dist[ex] is proof of activities in the field of distancing, deradicalisation and exit, as well as a commitment to participate in or help shape the formats offered by the network for exchange and further development.
To become an Associated Partner (A.P.) with dist[ex], you must provide evidence of activities in the fields of disengagement, deradicalisation and exit, as well as a commitment to participate in – or help shape – the exchange and development initiatives offered by the network. Further information on objectives, requirements and the application process can be found in the application form.
Associate partners have a wide range of opportunities to contribute – for example, through targeted networking initiatives, practice-oriented measures and joint publications.
We warmly invite you to become part of our network!
If you have any questions or wish to submit an application, please contact ap@dist-ex.de.
