Q1–Q2 | January–June 2026

The SHIELDed project works to protect valuable, yet vulnerable, communities from hate-driven violence by addressing its root causes and reinforcing the values of respect, diversity, exchange, dialogue, and cooperation. Through collaboration across the security, civic, educational and religious sectors, we seek to enhance the protection of soft targets, safeguarding symbolic places of personal and religious development and freedom, while also promoting mindsets that mitigate extremism and division.
