VOICES FROM THE BALTIC LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME – Mariia Karagacheva

“New contacts, new experience, new thinking “

 

about the course?

It is a very interesting course, with great speakers. But it is even more interesting to have conversations during the breaks, when people talk about their real challenges and successes at work, their concrete experiences that I can identify with. I can get a lot from these conversations.

 

what will you take home from the course?

A lot. New contacts, new experience, new thinking and perhaps new understanding of the challenges of civil protection, such as the new modern issues like the organisation of work with social media. 

 

 

Mariia Karagacheva is an Assitant Professor at St. Petersburg University of State Fire Service of EMERCOM.
Her expertise is the psychology of risk, extreme & crisis situations
