The SHIELD Project


The SHIELD (solutionS to enHance Interfaith protEction of pLaces of worship from terrorist Danger) project aims qt protecting places of worship from terrorist attacks. To this purpose, the project gathers EU public and private actors - Christian, Jewish and Muslim organisations, security practitioners, LEAs, municipalities, experts in risk detection and technological partners - to identify, for each religion, critical points in places of worship as well as circumstances and rituals that are more subject to the risk of terrorist attacks. In addition, SHIELD will identify the religious buildings that are potentially more vulnerable, as well as the types of terrorist attack that would be more likely to be perpetrated.

The SHIELD project tackles such risks and sensitive points by developing new measures and by suiting already existing technologies (e.g. CCTV, sensors) to past attacks. In addition, tailored recommendations and guidelines for LEAs and religious leaders will be outlined to favour the prevention and implementation of common protocols to mitigate the impact of the attacks (e.g. standard evacuation procedures). Moreover, SHIELD produces and distributes factsheets and leaflets to religious leaders to raise awareness on terrorist threat among respective communities. Furthermore, training sessions for practitioners and religious leaders are organised to prove the practical feasibility of recommendations as well as the effectiveness of new solutions and methodologies. To that end, the latter which are tested and validated in joint simulations.
