The 2024 preparedness week is now underway. This is a golden opportunity for individuals and those responsible at various authorities, such as municipalities, county councils, businesses, and voluntary organisations, to meet and discuss how best to prepare for crises and conflicts at different levels of responsibility. What expectations, wishes, and demands is it reasonable for us to place on each other, for example? The film Here & there - Will to defend, military & society can be used as a prompt for a discussion on how we at different levels in Swedish society can prepare ourselves for the worst-case scenario. So get started!
