A pilot defense training program called wReady is launching in Poland. It will begin on November 22 and run until December 14.

As part of the initiative, every adult citizen will be able to take a one-day course covering the basics of safety, survival, first aid, and cyber hygiene.

During the first stage, 25,000 people will be able to participate, and by 2026, around 400,000 citizens are expected to complete the training. The program is being implemented with the involvement of units from the Territorial Defense Forces and the Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces.

The Ministry of Defense emphasizes that this is not military service but an educational project designed to teach citizens how to act in emergency and crisis situations.
