Students of National Educational Institutions – Main Actors of the Platform for Dialogue, Launched by SIS

Security and Intelligence Service of the Republic of Moldova has launched a new national platform for dialogue between society and state authorities, competent in the field of security.

 

The collaboration proposed by the Security and Intelligence Service will broaden the knowledge of the citizens, especially of the younger generation, about the security field, security environment, and national security needs.

 

The project is designed to foster cooperation relationships, with informative, educational and collaborative impact, between the National Institute of Intelligence and Security "Bogdan, the Founder of Moldova", higher education institutions and civil society representatives. The dialogue will focus on important aspects of national security, based on the new risks and threats. This approach aims to to transform the citizen from a passive subject, a security consumer, into an active one, which would contribute to ensuring national security.

 

Within the platform for dialogue, the National Institute of Intelligence and Security will organize classes on the topic "Role of the special service in ensuring human, societal and state security at the current stage", where intelligence officers, but also representatives of civil society, experts in national security, will participate as speakers.

 

Another objective of the project is to involve young people as actively as possible, to develop the civic spirit, to promote security culture and their important role in ensuring national security.

 

The first beneficiaries of the project were students of the Technical University of Moldova (UTM), who, on February 6, visited the National Institute of Information and Security "Bogdan, Founder of Moldova", the only higher education institution in the country, which trains intelligence officers.

 

The students had the opportunity to get informed about the educational offer of the Institute and to become familiarized with the rigours and values of a special service. They interacted with the teaching staff, visited the places where future intelligence officers are trained and learned new things about the often hidden meanings and stereotypes of this profession.
