Societal Security Online Course is the outcome of the NEEDS (“Needs-based education and studies in societal security”) project conducted by eight partner organisations from six countries on societal security in the Baltic Sea Region.
In today’s complex global landscape, where societies grapple with an array of challenges from pandemics to climate crises, a unified understanding of societal security is crucial. Addressing this need, the NEEDS project has pioneered a groundbreaking solution: the Societal Security Online Course and an online community dedicated to institutionalising societal security education.

About NEEDS
The “Needs-based education and studies in societal security” (NEEDS) project addresses the skills gap and mismatch between the societal security education and the concrete knowledge needs in the field. It also seeks to promote transnational cooperation and dialogue between higher education institutes, practitioners and experts dealing with societal security.
By bridging the current knowledge gaps from the onset during their studies and education, the next generation of societal security professionals will be ready to work and have the necessary skills for meeting field-specific demands.
