Children learn life rescue: New educational offer in the neighborhood Arendsee!

in the Kiez Arendsee it gets serious! Children from Kalbe and Schinne learn how they can act correctly in emergency situations. Under the guidance of emergency paramedic Ulrike Richter, the boys and girls practice on an exercise doll, whom she lovingly call "Little Anne". Not only is theoretical knowledge conveyed here, but also practical skills - an invaluable advantage that you bring from your youth fire brigades. But the new educational offer goes far beyond the basics and is supported by experts from the State Youth Red Cross and the State Youth Fire Brigade.

The neighborhood has been committed to security for years. In 2021 the innovative "House of Dangers" was introduced, a modern doll house that brings the children closer to the sources of danger in their own home. Here you will learn how dangerous sockets are, which are at children, or how kitchen paper near the stove can become a fire. With the help of artificial smoke, the children learn how smoke spreads in the event of a fire and why it is important to move on all fours.

promote independence in dangerous situations

Kirsten Hohmeyer, the head of the neighborhood, emphasizes that education for independence is often neglected in dangerous situations. "Many parents often take their children by the hand, also very, very long, so that a certain self -employment can also be expected very late," she explains. It is crucial that children can act confidently in critical moments. You need to know how to choose the emergency number 112 and the five W questions-who? What? Where? When? Why? - can answer. The Kiez Arendsee does everything possible to ensure that the children are well prepared for the emergency!
