Algiers – The National Institute for Comprehensive Strategic Studies (NISSS) convened a scientific symposium in Algiers today focusing on “Social Cohesion and Wars of Awareness.” The event brought together experts to discuss the critical importance of upholding national values as a means of fortifying Algerian society against evolving threats.
Participants emphasized that modern challenges, particularly those associated with information warfare, have intensified due to the rapid pace of technological advancements globally. The symposium highlighted the need for proactive strategies to protect the nation’s social fabric from external influences seeking to undermine its stability.
“Maintaining strong social cohesion is paramount in the face of increasingly sophisticated attempts to manipulate public opinion,” stated one of the speakers. “We must cultivate a deeper understanding of these tactics and equip our citizens with the tools to critically assess information.”
The discussions also centered on the role of education, media, and community engagement in promoting national unity and resilience. Attendees explored ways to strengthen national identity while fostering an environment of critical thinking and informed decision-making.
The NISSS, a leading think tank in Algeria, regularly organizes events to address critical issues facing the nation and contribute to informed policy-making. This symposium reflects its commitment to analyzing emerging threats and promoting strategies for national security and social well-being. The institute aims to foster a national discourse on safeguarding Algeria’s interests in an increasingly complex global landscape.
The event concluded with a call for sustained efforts to promote national values and enhance societal resilience against the challenges posed by modern warfare and information manipulation. The findings from the symposium are expected to inform future policy recommendations and initiatives aimed at strengthening Algeria’s social cohesion.
