D2.1.Protecting Places of Worship in Europe: A Review of Literature and Future Research Trends
The report intends to map the existing literature, identifying key points for research and policy thinking in relation to the security of places of worship across Europe. It is configured as a valuable resource for policymakers, religious leaders, and community members interested in promoting religious harmony, tolerance, and the security of PoWs.
D4.1 - Training Programs and Modules
The Protone training modules aimed to introduce key concepts and practices to project stakeholders, faith leaders,
heads of places of worship and worshippers. Furthermore, the training aimed to introduce participants to working
definitions, concepts, and risk assessment manuals, and find a common approach to furthering collaboration with
faith leaders, practitioners, civil society organisations and researchers on matters related to protective security at
places of worship.
