Why a new website? Featured
With the establishment of the EUNWA General Secretariat on October 16th 2021 in Venice, the Board was enriched with new members and a new impetus.
EUNWA’s mission remains unchanged: promote crime prevention among European citizens, support the emergence of the Neighbourhood Watch in countries where it is not yet present, encourage dialogue between European associations involved in security programmes, institutions, and citizens.

When the Exception becomes the rule: European Union Societies on the move
The INSPEC2T awareness games are being further optimised to increase engagement and enhance their content. As such the game development team at PlayGen together with four of our pilot cities have been focusing on extensive user testing of the two games; ‘Resource Force’ and ‘Photo Challenge’. With emphasis on reaching out to real end users and gaining insights and feedback, we are improving the games, enhancing their effectiveness and making them more enjoyable.
Founding Conference, October 23 - 24, 2014, in Vienna
With crime rates in Europe being high, personal security and protection of personal property issues are moving into the focus of citizens across the European Union. Whilst the Police is doing an incredibly good job to resolve crimes and to prevent the spreading out of organized crime, the citizens of Europe are complementing police efforts by establishing Neighbourhood Watch organisations.
EUNWA founder Karl Brunnbauer invited the international Neighbourhood Watch Community to hold its third annual conference in Vienna. 44 participants representing 32 organizations from 14 countries were happy to join him in Vienna.
Our Neighbourhood Watch Community was invited by Controllo del Vicinato and the community of Castel Ritaldi to hold its second conference here. On the 23/24 of October 2015, 50 participants represented more than 20 organizations from 13 countries, although it was a big logistic challenge to come together far away from different airports and locally widespread hotels and pensions. Finally, Italian hospitality was the key to bring us together in excellent atmosphere.

To the Members of the EUNWA
Vienna, October 2021
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
After founding the EUNWA in 2014, I have been President, enjoying the cooperation with so many good friends and colleagues. Those of you who participated in the 2019 Annual Meeting in Venice will have best memories of this event and the EUNWA can be proud of the Venice Charter that we all signed those days.
Prejudices between neighbours could prevent the creation of new Neighbourhood Watch groups and weaken the functioning of existing ones, in addition to impacting, in a broader sense, the entire community.
