Protecting Places of Worship in Europe through an Inclusive Prevention Model
The PARTES project aims to increase the protection of places of worship in European countries by developing a comprehensive, evidence-based, inclusive, and participatory prevention model.
To achieve this goal, the initiative will employ awareness-raising campaigns and implement training and workshop activities to improve cooperation between public authorities and faith-based communities.
PARTES will take stock, assess, and exchange best practices and tools in this field using a multi-disciplinary and participatory methodology. The project involves researchers and the end users (faith communities, particularly Jewish, Muslim and Christian).
