Summary/Abstract: The “European security culture” is a syntagm mainly used in the context of Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) with the intent to em¬phasise the fact that Europeans have a distinct approach to crisis and crisis management, hence a distinct security culture. Cooperation at all lev¬els and on all lines of development, political and diplomatic dialogue, CSDP missions and opera¬tions (comprehensive approach at work), all these practical activities are means through which the European security culture is built and spread. But it is primarily and mainly the education which can secure the bedrock of this culture. This paper presents the current framework of promoting the European security culture through military educa¬tion and potential future means to enact it within the military audience.
