Public
information course for officers
From 5 to 8 February, a public information course was conducted
at the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE)
in Mons for students from over fifteen NATO and Partner
countries. The course included training on information activities
such as setting up a press and information centre, supporting
TV interviews and organising press conferences. Students
were also given the opportunity to play the role of unit
spokesperson and discuss the role of a public information
officer with a journalist.
The students are officers who work in their respective
ministries of defence, for Chiefs of Defence Staff, Army
Reserve Offices, NATO commands, Eurocorps and Media Training
Centres. The SHAPE public information course is held twice
a year and is tailored to the needs of each group of attendees.
