The title of this joint project is „Professionalization Of Stewards As An Autonomous Part Of The Private Security Industry ”

Overview

Large events (festivals, sporting events, concerts) are a part of modern society’s free time activities. Private security and stewards are essential for guaranteeing a safe event. Their work is a complex combination of interaction between visitors and coordination between other safety related personal (police, fire brigade, paramedics). Nevertheless, the branch is characterized by low wages, high turnover rates and a low reputation compared to other safety related personal.
