CYPRadar 🇨🇾🔥 New Fire Safety Education Programme Launched in Cypriot Schools to Enhance Prevention and Response Skills
A new fire safety educational programme has been launched at Astromeritis Primary School, targeting primary and secondary students across Cyprus. This initiative is a collaboration between the Ministry of Education, Cyprus Fire Service, the Association of Retired Firefighters, and the Bank of Cyprus’ SupportCY network, aiming to develop essential fire prevention and response skills among youth.
The programme builds on prior teacher training and now directly involves students with interactive activities and modern educational methods. Following the launch, pupils participated in sessions led by firefighting professionals and had hands-on experiences with firefighting vehicles and equipment. Authorities emphasize the programme's importance in fostering a culture of safety and resilience, especially amid increased risks from the climate crisis.
SupportCY will continue its involvement through school visits, presentations, equipment provision, and regular fire prevention patrols conducted alongside the Fire Service. Officials highlighted the strategic priority of early education in prevention and the critical role of collaboration among state agencies, educational communities, and volunteer organizations to better safeguard school environments.
