The protection of places of worship is associated with respect to diversity and alterity, according to speakers at a press conference in Nicosia on Thursday on the European project PROSECUW.
The theme “The protection and security of places of worship – securing the rights of every person – protecting religious, historical and cultural heritage” is under the auspices of the Centre for Social Innovation.
The Protection and Security for Places of Worship is an innovative project, funded by the Internal Security Fund Police (ISFP) of the European Commission and aims to enhance protection at places of worship in European countries, by setting up cooperation between public authorities, religious leaders, civil society actors, and the local communities, by developing their capacity to counteract radicalisation and hate-speech.
