Today, on December 18, UNICEF, together with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the State Emergency Service, launched an online course "How to teach children mine safety" for educators, rescuers and police officers. This was reported by UNN with reference to the Ministry of Education.

Details

The Ministry of Education and Science emphasizes that currently about a third of Ukraine's territory is potentially contaminated with mines and unexploded ordnance, which poses a particular danger to children.

That is why it is important to create a culture of safe behavior among children and youth, the Ministry of Education and Science emphasized.

It is noted that the online course offers a comprehensive plan for training children and adolescents on handling explosive ordnance and is based on international standards. It also provides teachers with practical tools to foster safe behavior in areas potentially contaminated with mines and other explosive hazards

UNICEF has engaged experts in child and developmental psychology, pedagogy, inclusive education, mine risk education and behavioral change to help course participants become effective safety educators for children and youth

- said the Ministry of Education and Science.

The course is available at bezpeka.info. All participants who complete the full course will receive a certificate of advanced training,

Addendum

The course has two versions: one designed for educators and the other specifically for employees of the State Emergency Service and the National Police. 

The course program consists of three modules that focus on what a child needs to know about mine risk education; how to connect with a child and find a way to approach them; and how to teach in a way that children as young as six and as old as 16 can hear you. It also covers how to use game formats to teach mine safety.

As part of the course, children will be told:

  • what explosive devices look like;
  • where they can be found;
  • what warning signs to look out for;
  • how to act.

Recall

Since the beginning of the full-scale war, pyrotechnic units of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine have defused 462,609 explosive devices.

Most often, pyrotechnic units operated in Kharkiv, Kyiv, Donetsk, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Chernihiv, and Sumy regions.
