The first part of the fieldwork within the process evaluation is participatory observations. These were carried out during MAW structures’ meetings in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. Prior to the participatory observations, the MAW meeting being observed explained and introduced their work, and highlighted the strengths and pitfalls of MAW that they were experiencing.The selection of the MAW structures to be observed depended on their experience in dealing with the issue of radicalisation. The original intention was to observe eighteen meetings in three cities in Belgium, three cities in the Netherlands and three cities in Germany (two observations in each city). Due to difficulties with data protection and cancellations or a lack of meetings, usually because of the Covid-19 pandemic, we carried out eight observations in Belgium (four cities), three in the Netherlands (two cities) and three in Germany (two cities) – a total of fourteen observations in eight cities. The observations were carried out using an observation protocol (see Appendix 4). The protocol was based on the process indicators derived from the literature review. The participatory observations were carried out both in person (n = 4) and online (n = 10) via Microsoft Teams, depending on the Covid-19 pandemic measures that were in place at the time. The following is an outline of the results. More detailed results can be found in the observation matrices (Tables 5 to 9).
