After two years of productive international cooperation, the SECURE-CS (Civil Society Initiatives Strengthened with Information and Data Security)<\/strong> project has successfully come to an end. Funded under the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union<\/strong>, the project aimed to enhance the digital resilience of civil society organizations, youth workers, and educators by promoting knowledge, tools, and good practices in information and data security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coordinated by SETA Foundation<\/strong>, the project brought together six partner organizations from five countries, fostering cross-border collaboration and the exchange of expertise in digital security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Partnership<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The SECURE-CS consortium consisted of the following organizations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • T\u00fcrkiye: SETA Foundation (Coordinator), ANKA, T\u00dcGVA<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Bosnia and Herzegovina: BRAVO<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Norway: TTB<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • North Macedonia: MHRA<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Belgium: SETA Brussels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Key Project Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Throughout its implementation, the project delivered several significant outcomes designed to strengthen digital security capacities within the civil society sector, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • A comprehensive Digital Security Curriculum<\/strong> featuring an e-book and structured training modules for civil society organizations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The development of the Online Security Test Center<\/strong>, enabling organizations to independently assess their digital security capacity. Through this platform, more than 100 organizations evaluated and reported on the security of their websites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • A series of international training activities and transnational project meetings hosted by partner organizations across Europe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Local and national multiplier events that promoted the project’s results and encouraged wider adoption of its resources and methodologies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Lasting Impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      SECURE-CS has made a meaningful contribution to strengthening digital resilience within the European civil society ecosystem. By providing practical educational resources, innovative assessment tools, and opportunities for international cooperation, the project has helped organizations become better prepared to address evolving digital security challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The knowledge, resources, and partnerships established throughout the project will continue to support civil society organizations beyond the project’s lifetime, ensuring the long-term sustainability of its outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all partner organizations, trainers, participants, stakeholders, and supporters whose commitment and collaboration made the project a success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
