THE ESSENCE OF EDUCATION FOR SECURITY IN THE LIGHT OF CONTEMPORARY THREATS
Abstract
In the contemporary world, there is a notable trend towards constant development and
transformation, as well as progress in every aspect of life. While this brings numerous
advantages, issues pertaining to security in its broad sense cannot be disregarded.
This is the foundation upon which human life is built. As society develops, a number of
new security threats emerge requiring everyone to prepare for. In the 21st century, it is
of key importance to provide ongoing security education. This encompasses not only
theoretical issues, defining fundamental concepts and identifying threats, but also cultivating
prosocial attitudes and visions of development. Given the intricate and interdisciplinary
nature of the discussed matter, it is imperative that education for security
should not merely be restricted to educational institutions. It is crucial to provide this
education not only in formal educational settings, but also through other activities and
self-directed learning. Enhancing knowledge of security in its broad sense is a pivotal
aspect of lives of children, adolescents and adults. A comprehensive approach that
encompasses the entirety of the subject matter will enable a positive impact on security.
This article provides a concise overview of fundamental definitions related to the
subject matter and identifies the most significant security threats. It then proceeds to
indicate specific forms of education in this domain and avenues for future development.
