Volunteer Fire Department – Sveti Nikole from N. Macedonia, Local Initiative grant recipient, developed an educational brochure “Teaching the youngest about fire safety hazards and procedures”.
This initiative aims to enhance the understanding of risks and dangers associated with fires among children and other specified target groups in primary schools within the municipality of Sveti Nikole.
During the month of October 2023, ten educational workshops will be held for the youngest pupils in elementary schools in Sveti Nikole, Macedonia. Children from grades 1 to 5 will receive the brochures and learn about what a fire is, why it occurs, how it is caused, and they will also learn how to protect themselves and evacuate in the event of a fire.
The brochure was created with the support of the regional project SMART Balkans – Civil society for Shared Society in the Western Balkans, implemented by the Centar za promociju civilnog društva (CPCD) the Center for Research and Policy Making (CRPM) and the Institute for Democracy and Mediation (IDM), financially supported by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (NMFA).
