International Security Narratives Symposium

The Symposium “International Security Narratives” brings together outstanding academics and practitioners from public and private sectors across Europe to discuss and develop approaches to local safety and security challenges. In personal stories, experts’ “security narratives” invite the audience to exchange their views and experience and to participate in the development of concrete solutions.

The symposium is hosted by the Centre of Excellence in Public Safety Management (CESAM) in the context of the Erasmus+ Project ISM-KA. ISM-KA is a project financed by the EU with the aim to create sustainable and concrete resources and structures to foster international security collaborations.
