Protecting Places of Worship Training and Risk Assessment in Europe

EFI has been providing security training and risk assessments for places of worship across countries in Europe, as part of the SOAR Project. The SOAR Project is an EU Commission funded project, under the ISFP-2020-AG-Protect Programme under grant agreement No: 101034222.

The SOAR Project takes an approach which implements factors to think about with security, from various aspects. For example, we have partnered with ACE for an architectural view on security and the security of the building itself. Training is thorough and provided across many locations within a country. The seven pilot countries for this project are:

• Austria
• Belgium
• Denmark
• France
• Germany
• Hungary
• The Netherlands
