About the PROSECUW Hub
One of the means to achieve effective and sustainable cooperation among key stakeholders and target groups for the protection and security for places of worship, as well as inter-religious respect, is through the creation of a HUB, a local, European and cross-sectoral network, that favors and facilitates the joint work of various specialists and stakeholders among the four European PROSECUW partnership countries (Cyprus, Greece, Portugal, Germany) and beyond. The PROSECUW Hub is intended to produce new knowledge, awareness, and develop greater capacity for action and prevention, for religious leaders, law enforcement agents, academic researchers, NGOs and local associations, municipalities and policy makers on the protection and security at places of worship.
Why join the PROSECUW Hub?
- Mutual cooperation will trigger positive externalities and will foster further cooperation among stakeholders, namely from different religious communities, and among different backgrounds, a benefit that the members will find very useful to maintain, strengthen and enhance in the context of their cooperation.
- Great opportunities for new, interesting and creative initiatives may arise from this dialogue.
- Counterparts may give additional support in case of need. For example, police forces and educational institutions may support each other in religion-related emergencies, or in cases where religious harassment/hate crime has taken place to provide a more holistic response within their facilities.
- Working together will lead to further cooperation among the hub members who can contact each other for the possible creation of additional projects amongst them. By building connections, ensuring trust and strengthening powerful networks among different types of stakeholders, new opportunities can be created while new ideas can arise and achieve success.
