Sweden was the last country in the Presidency trio with France and Czech Republic. As part of the programme of the Swedish Presidency, Sweden worked for "Whole-of-society resilience" and examined the role of the individual and the private sector. The work also included a sustainable and circular network with a collective commitment of funds and resources, effective operational procedures and techniques shared across all curricula. Europe needs "cross-knowledge cooperation" in times of crisis that we see so clearly in 2023. The aim of the meeting for Directors of Civil Protection and Firefighting Schools was to connect and strengthen capacity development relevant to civil protection and rescue emergency schools by presenting and discuss projects under UCP Knowledge Network. The idea of connecting the outcomes among professionals was to sharing results to achieving “cross-knowledge” - knowledge cross the borders in a new efficient cooperation.
