Can you Is fighting in Ukraine an obstacle for the National Defense Education Association (MPK) to work as a trainer?
On Friday, the instant messaging service in X was down. Word began to spread among the reservists that those who had fought in Ukraine could no longer participate in MPK’s activities, for example as trainers or lecturers.
Director of Operations at MPK Antti Lehtisalo negates the argument. According to him, MPK has not ruled that those who fought in Ukraine could not participate in training as a course participant or trainer. However, the subject has been discussed in MPK.
At war shocking things are experienced and seen. Such experiences can lower an individual’s ability to function.
The safety of education is of primary importance. Therefore, for each operator, the aim is to assess whether the person in question is ready to participate in MPK’s activities, for example after returning from the war.
“We are trying to make sure that the participants are doing well.”
Lehtisalo points out that it is a law-based and established method of operation. The Defense Forces always check the course participants and trainers participating in MPK’s statutory trainings.
in Ukraine because of the people who have fought, MPK has been asked to emphasize the consideration of safety in their training. According to Lehtisalo, there has been a lively discussion over the past few weeks.
“Since the issue has been discussed a lot, the idea that such a categorical ban has been made has started to spread. This is not the case.”
Emergency manager Janne Pentusen according to the matter was mentioned in a byline at the meeting of the education managers.
“I shared this as preliminary information to the reservists who have an impact in the provincial company. I wrote the message in a hurry, so I accidentally missed the clarification that it is only preliminary information.”
Pentunen points out that MPK does not have courses in the summer, so the error has practically not had time to affect course activities.
“Sorry if this has caused any inconvenience.”
Executive Director According to Lehtisalo, the experience gained from the war in Ukraine is important in the development of national defense expertise.
The experience gained in the war will indeed be part of MPK’s training, but primarily through cooperation with the Defense Forces.
“We want MPK’s operations to have a wide range of know-how acquired from various situations.”
