On October 10, the courtyard of the Zakarpattia Regional Center for Children and Youth Creativity hosted the Safety Picnic \u2013 an interactive event for schoolchildren, organised by the Interreg NEXT Poland\u2013Ukraine Programme together with the RescueFirstAid<\/a><\/em> and UP2FireSafety<\/a><\/em> projects.
The aim of the event was to teach children, in an engaging and accessible way, how to act in emergencies and how to protect themselves and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants took part in interactive presentations on how to behave during fires, floods, thunderstorms, or earthquakes. They learned how to recognise dangerous objects and call emergency services correctly. During the event children tried themselves as rescuers in the \u201cRescue Team\u201d game, where they extinguished a simulated fire; practiced first aid skills and the use of rescue equipment; and met the mountain rescue team to learn about safety rules during hikes. Children could even try on a real rescuer\u2019s uniform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
