    Episode 9: The wrap-up

    With the summit in the rear-view mirror (and summer on the horizon!), Bruce and Mariana wrap up the podcast series by testing their knowledge of the key decisions that NATO Leaders took at the summit. They also share their favourite anecdotes from behind the scenes of Behind the Scenes, reminisce about funny and inspiring moments from the previous episodes, and we finally discover whether they actually know all 79 points of the Brussels Summit Communiqué by heart (spoiler: they don’t).

    Episode 7: Interns at work

    In this episode, Bruce and Mariana speak to those who are on the right track to become NATO-experts in the future – the interns and the temps. Together, they reminisce about their own intern experiences, the path towards becoming a temp (someone with a temporary contract) and their volunteer experience at the Summit. From awkward wave-exchanges with the leaders to feeling very important talking into a wrist microphone, we get an idea of what it feels like to experience a summit as a young professional at NATO.

    Episode 5: Hosting at the Headquarters

    A facility manager, a security officer, an interpreter and a technician walk into a NATO summit – and the punchline is that you never notice how much work they put in, only the flawless flow of this major event! In this episode, Bruce and Mariana talk with a variety of people who keep things running smoothly behind the scenes. We learn what’s on the menu for NATO Leaders, how NATO security staff imagine all sorts of wild scenarios and how they make sure that everyone is safe. Et à la fin de l’épisode, nous parlons un peu en français, pour découvrir comment les interprètes de l’OTAN traduisent des idiomes particuliers.  Check out NATO on Social Media: @nato on Instagram @NATO on Twitter NATO on LinkedIn  NATO on Facebook NATO on YouTube

    In this episode, Bruce and Mariana speak to Tania Lațici, a policy analyst at the European Parliamentary Research Service (the in-house think tank of the European Parliament) and a NATO 2030 Young Leader. The NATO 2030 Young Leaders are a diverse group of young professionals aged 25-35 from across the Alliance. They were appointed by the Secretary General to inform his recommendations to NATO Leaders at the 2021 Brussels Summit. In our conversation, we discuss all the work that went into the NATO 2030 Young Leaders report, as well as Tania’s perspective on NATO-EU cooperation and why NATO should be in more movies!   Check out NATO on social media: @nato on Instagram @NATO on Twitter NATO on LinkedIn  NATO on Facebook NATO on YouTube
