Hadres elementary school: Students learn first aid with the Red Cross

The students of the Hadres elementary school had the opportunity to learn more about first aid and emergency medicine on a very special day. At an event called "Red Cross Goes School Day", the entire offer of the Red Cross was brought closer to the children. The aim was to take the fear of such topics and instead convey knowledge about the importance of emergency care.

A team of youth supervisors of the Red Cross Hollabrunn and the Haugsdorf local position introduced themselves to the pupils to carry out numerous practical exercises. At this event, the emergency backpack of a paramedic was particularly examined. The children also learned how to carry out an emergency check and what essential things have to be observed in first aid.

practical learning for everyone

The concept of station operation made learning in small groups easier for the children. So they were allowed to work directly with the materials and received useful information about how to react correctly in emergencies. A special focus was on the defibrillators and first aid boxes that are increasingly found in schools and public institutions.

This initiative not only offers the students valuable knowledge for potential emergencies, but also promotes cooperation and social learning with each other. Direct contact and practical work with experienced members of the Red Cross ensured a positive and educational atmosphere.
