In response to the global surge in disinformation, hate speech, and violence targeting vulnerable sites such as schools and places of worship, we seek to safeguard these meaningful spaces, and the communities connected to them. SHIELDed (Schools, religious communities and local authorities' Harmonised Initiative to Enhance Local resilience) is a three-year initiative funded by the Internal Security Fund, designed to strengthen local resilience and address these pressing challenges.
Building on the EU Action Plan for the Protection of Public Spaces, SHIELDed promotes cooperation between public authorities, faith-based organisations, educational institutions, and local communities. This multi-stakeholder effort is key to fostering a united and effective response.
At the heart of SHIELDed lays a commitment to strengthening public awareness, especially among the young. Through capacity building, education, community engagement, and the development of both preventative and response strategies, the project empowers local actors to take an active role in protection efforts.
By focusing on the security of spaces that support personal growth, cultural identity, and religious freedom, SHIELDed contributes to crime prevention and the mitigation of radicalisation and extremism, with a strong emphasis on early intervention and resilience.

Dołączyłem do Platformy w listopadzie 2017 roku. Przez długi czas byłem odpowiedzialny za realizację krajowych i europejskich projektów związanych z bezpieczeństwem. W związku z dynamicznym rozwojem PPBW oraz powstaniem Działu Komunikacji, zająłem się promocją i upowszechnianiem rezultatów naszych działań.
Obecnie koordynuję komunikację projektów finansowanych przez UE z obszaru bezpieczeństwa. Do moich obowiązków należy również zarządzanie kanałami online PPBW oraz wspieranie zespołu w bieżących pracach.
Posiadam szeroki zakres umiejętności, który pozwala mi realizować różnorodne zadania, takie jak tworzenie treści (teksty, zdjęcia, wideo), planowanie strategii komunikacyjnych i procesów, budowanie społeczności i relacji, a także administrowanie platformami online.
I’ve been working at PPHS since November 2017. For a long time, I was responsible for implementing both international and national security projects. As PPHS developed and the Communication Department was established, I was promoted to a role focused entirely on communication.
I currently serve as the Communication & Dissemination Manager for EU-funded security projects. My responsibilities also include managing the online channels run by PPHS and supporting the team with ongoing tasks.
I have a broad set of skills, enabling me to handle a variety of tasks such as content creation (texts, photos, videos), communication and process planning, community and relationship building, as well as managing online platforms.
