Tiivistelmä
This thesis was made for an ERASMUS+ project: ”NEEDS-based education and studies in societal security”. Main goal of the project was to create a common societal security culture in the Baltic Sea States by bringing together high education institutes, practitioners, and experts. Object of this thesis was to find out what were the benefits of an intensive study period arranged in Finland, towards the goals of the whole project.
Societal security is a new field of science and there is not one specific definition that is agreed upon. There are differences around the Baltic Sea States on how to approach the issue. Everyone agrees that risk management, crisis management, and resilience are part of the whole concept of societal security. Qualitative research was conducted by interviewing teachers, practitioners, and experts, and via a survey for all the students who attended the intensive study week.
Everyone involved thought the project was important and the study week in Finland was a success. Intensive study period was a good method to bring together all the project partners, and it started creating a community from different countries around the Baltic Sea. Results of this thesis was used to plan the next intensive study week in Latvia and helped the project to achieve its goals.
