Traditions and Experiences from The Organization of Defence Education of Young People in Poland

The preparation of citizens for defence is carried out through the creation of a functional defence education system. Undertaking activities within the defence system is a mean to achieve the objective of ensuring the safety of the society as a state free of threats and enabling development. Therefore, the defensive preparation of citizens, whose theory and practice constitute defence didactics, is an important element of the state’s defence system. The goal of defensive education, is to prepare citizens to take defence measures that result from the universal obligation to defend the state, as well as patriotic attitudes shaped over time. Reducing the sense of danger is one of the challenges facing the citizens’ education defence system.
