The Projects
J-SAFE is a project co-funded by the DG Justice of the European Commission that supports judges and prosecutors in pronouncing informed decision sentencing on cases of radicalization throughout all stages of the procedure, through the use of the most appropriate risk assessment tools. It also supports prison and probation staff in the execution of sentences through a coherent set of programmes and an integrated flow of information, parallel to the European Criminal Records Information System, among multilevel and multiagency stakeholders. Visit jsafeproject.eu for more information on this project. Project Leader: Italian Ministry of Justice
This project has received fundings from the Justice Programme
MINDb4ACT is a project co-funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme that will contribute to shaping an international community of security experts and first-line professionals in order to meet the challenges and vulnerabilities of a globalised European and international society. Through the Living Lab framework, MINDb4ACT will collectively reassess individual, local, national, and multi-national approaches towards the comprehension, identification and prevention of violent radicalisation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a ToT?
A Training of Trainers (ToT) was originally planned to be a 4-day face-to-face training course. Due to the COVID-19 emergency, we decided to organize the full catalog online.

The HERMES platform will host the material.

What can the ToT do for you?
- You will be part of an exclusive European network of trainers.
- You will be able to organize courses in your country in the framework of the JP-COOPS project. This means that the project will cover the cost of your course!
Will you plan some additional days "in real life" for this online ToT?
-
Yes! We are planning some activities to allow at least a portion of our students to try the Virtual Reality section that we prepared for them. Unfortunately, we can’t be more specific than this considering that it’s impossible know when the Covid-19 emergency will end, but this option is in our plan.
Can you give us an estimate of the amount of time the course requires including webminars and working on the materials?
This really depends on the students. The material will be available online for long time and the webinars will be recorded in order for students to be able to have them available on the platform. Each module will take approximately 3 or 4 hours including the video lesson and the exercises. Each webinar will be approximately 2 hours. Students can decide how many modules to follow. Module n.3 Is restricted only to LEAs. The online solution gives to the students a lot of flexibility when it comes to time.
