Safer and Stronger Communities in Europe
Together with the European Jewish Congress’ (EJC) Security and Crisis Centre (SACC), Faith Matters and the European Buddhist Union, supported by the European Commission, we assist in the protection of places of worship in Europe. The outcome of this interfaith partnership, representing Christian, Muslim and Jewish communities across Europe, is Safer and Stronger Communities in Europe (SASCE).
The SASCE project aims to increase security in and around places of worship, as well as within and between communities. The four organisations are developing tools to strengthen security awareness and crisis management.
The project also aims to strengthen trust and cooperation between civil society and national authorities, facilitating formalised channels of communication between community leadership and public enforcement authorities.
