The shooting at Charles University in Prague has shocked not only the Czech Republic but the entire European academic community. Take a look at the materials of the 4U social campaign, an initiative of the Terrorism Prevention Centre of Excellence of the Internal Security Agency.

Graphics, videos and animations prepared by ISA depict the appropriate course of action when a terrorist attack occurs or is suspected. The approach is built on the four Us: Uważaj (Watch Out), Uciekaj (Run), Ukryj się (Hide), and Udaremnij atak (Stop the Attack).

‘In the first seconds and minutes during a terrorist incident, YOU are responsible for yourself and your loved ones! Be attentive, act decisively and protect your life,’ is the message of the campaign.

Let us recall that on the afternoon of December 21, an armed attacker entered the Faculty of Philosophy of Charles University in Prague. During the attack, he killed 14 people and wounded about 25. The photo of students and lecturers hiding from the attacker on the ledge of the building attracted particular attention in the media.

On December 22, the UG academic community, in an expression of solidarity with the Czech university, met at Prof. Andrzej Ceynowa Square and paid tribute to the victims of the tragedy.
