Abstract

This article is dedicated to Security Culture. Security culture represents the
active and conscious engagement of citizens in managing the state's problems and
supporting institutions in preventing threats to national security. This involves
understanding and assimilating information, attitudes and values related to the
political, military and economic aspects of society. As a moral, educational and
formative guide, security culture aims to prepare citizens to contribute to the
protection of national values. National security is not only a concern of the state, but
also of its citizens, and security culture plays an essential role in their involvement
in ensuring stability and protecting national values. This culture emerges from the
experience and consciousness of citizens and encompasses cognitive, evaluative
and emotional aspects, influencing the way they perceive and respond to threats.
Building a strong security culture requires an education that would enable society
to thrive safely and adapt to the rapid changes in the security environment. Close
collaboration between education and security institutions is necessary to ensure the
relevance, updating and application of education programs in the real context of
security threats.

Key words:

Security, security culture, strategic culture, education, civil
protection, threats, dangers, safety.
