Usposabljanje z naslovom »Podnebne spremembe in obvladovanje tveganj nesreč« je namenjeno pripadnikom ukrajinske civilne zaščite in strokovnjakom s področja preventive ter pripravljenosti na naravne nesreče.
Čeprav je v vojnem času obseg nalog ukrajinske civilne zaščite razširjen na pomoč prebivalstvu, ostaja usposabljanje ključnega pomena tudi v takšnih razmerah, saj vojna dodatno povečuje zahtevnost odzivanja na naravne nesreče in njihove posledice. Usposabljanje hkrati predstavlja pomemben instrument za usklajevanje ukrajinskih sistemov odzivanja z mehanizmi za krizno odzivanje EU.
Izvedba programa je eden od mnogih konkretnih izkazov bilateralne pomoči, ki jo Slovenija nudi Ukrajini. Dejstvo, da se aktivnost odvija na ukrajinskih tleh, pa je dodaten izraz solidarnosti Slovenije z Ukrajino.
Pripadnike ukrajinske civilne zaščite usposabljamo na področju:
👉 razumevanja kompleksnih podnebno pogojenih nesreč in celostnih pristopov k večji pripravljenosti, v skladu s Sendajskim okvirom,
👉 mehanizmov zbiranja podatkov, kartiranja, napovedovanja in zgodnjega opozarjanja,
👉 evropskih mehanizmov kriznega upravljanja ter pripravljenosti in odzivanja na naravne in druge nesreče,
👉 mehanizmov za zaščito civilnega prebivalstva,
👉ocenjevanja tveganj v kompleksnih okoljih z več viri tveganj, vključno z aktualno vojno,.
Ključni cilj usposabljanja je krepitev kapacitet ukrajinske civilne zaščite, da se na nesreče vnaprej pripravi, se nanje učinkovito odzove ter nato hitreje okreva.
Usposabljanje je potekalo v dveh terminih – prvi med 9. in 11. februarjem ter drugi med 12. in 14. februarjem.

On 3 and 4 December 2025, Jable Castle hosted participants from across Europe for the first training delivered under the European Union Training Initiative. Organised by the Centre for European Perspective, the course focused on the Foundations of Project Management in Civilian Crisis Management and brought together both pre-mission personnel and experts already deployed in the field.
Over two intensive days, participants explored how project management directly contributes to mission success. The training opened with an introduction to the project mindset and the specific ecosystem of civilian missions, helping participants distinguish between projects and routine operations. They worked through the full project lifecycle, learned how to define project success using SMART objectives, and gained practical tools for setting clear goals and scope.
A strong focus was placed on planning and implementation. Sessions covered how to structure project tasks, allocate resources and budgets, manage timelines, identify and mitigate risks, and monitor progress through effective reporting. Horizontal principles, including human rights, gender equality and the Women, Peace and Security agenda, were also integrated into the project framework, alongside the use of the Logical Framework approach.
The heart of the training was the hands-on capstone exercise. Working in groups on a mission-based scenario, participants developed their own project charter, which they refined, presented and discussed together. Through this practical work, they strengthened key skills such as teamwork, leadership, problem-solving and decision-making under pressure.
The final sessions focused on best practices and real-life application in mission environments. Participants reflected on common challenges, learned how to motivate teams and stakeholders, and created individual plans for applying newly acquired project management skills in their next deployment.
With highly engaged and motivated participants, the training days passed quickly. Participants left Jable Castle equipped with a strong foundation in project management and a practical toolkit they can immediately use in civilian crisis management missions.

PREKLICANO.
Med 10. in 13. novembrom 2025 bo na gradu Jable v Mengšu potekalo usposabljanje na temo strateške komunikacije v sodobnem varnostnem okolju. Usposabljanje bo obravnavalo vpliv tehnično-tehnološkega napredka na vojskovanje in mednarodne operacije, zlasti na področju kognicije in pretoka informacij.
Click here to read this article in English.
Tehnično-tehnološki napredek je v preteklih desetletjih v vojskovanje, posledično pa tudi v mednarodne operacije in misije (MOM), vpeljal nove mehanizme, taktike, tehnike in sredstva (orožja, orodja) ne le na vseh petih domenah (kopno, morje, zrak, kibernetika, vesolje), ampak zlasti in tudi na področju kognicije, generiranja in pretoka informacij. Preko tega geografsko omejeni pojavi v realnem času globalno po različnih informacijskih kanalih vstopajo v individualno zavest, oblikujejo mišljenje ter vplivajo na vrednote, stališča in ravnanje ciljnih publik. Nekoč omejeni procesi na področju varnosti v takšnem okolju zahtevajo pristop celotne družbe, ki je celosten in sinhroniziran med vsemi akterji. Razumevanje te ideje in njeno izvajanje vpliva na zastavljen končni cilj in učinkovitost vpliva našega delovanja na področju zagotavljanja nacionalne in mednarodne varnosti.
Udeleženci, ki bodo prisotni na celotnem usposabljanju, na koncu prejmejo certifikat o uspešni udeležbi. Usposabljanje bo potekalo med 10. in 13. novembrom 2025 na gradu Jable, Grajska cesta 1, 1234 Mengeš.
Za udeležence je predvidena sproščena poslovna obleka (business casual) ali delovna uniforma za predstavnike SV. Točen program usposabljanja bo na voljo po zaprtju registracij. Udeležba je brezplačna, za vse udeležence bosta zagotovljena kosilo in pogostitev med odmori.
Usposabljanje bo potekalo v slovenščini in deloma v angleščini brez prevajanja.
Prijave na usposabljanje sprejemamo do vključno 28. septembra na sledeči povezavi: 🟢 prijavni obrazec
