Call
Detailed Call Description
Places of worship, schools and community gatherings associated with the Jewish faith in the EU face a complex range of threats today, and preparedness and resilience are key aspects to ensure their protection. Developing collaboration and communication between public authorities, law enforcement agencies and Jewish faith institutions and Jewish faith community leaders is essential in the context of this topic. Awareness – raising is another imperative factor in the protection of places of worship, schools and community gatherings visibly associated with the Jewish faith, as Jewish communities must be informed of avenues to identify threats, report suspicious behaviour, notice signs of potential attacks, and learn know how to respond to them. Infographic material, advertisements and public information campaigns are also effective means to raise awareness.
Proposals submitted under this topic must carry out at least one of the following activities:
- Establishing or stepping up cooperation between public authorities and Jewish faith-based leaders and congregations
- Designing and implementing security awareness raising campaigns specifically targeting Jewish places of worship
- Sharing of knowledge, tools, and good practices on protective measures
- Development and implementation of security concepts, measures, programs, and communication plans;
- Development and implementation of trainings
