WORKSHOP – FIRST AID

On January 23, 2024, from 2:30 pm to 4 pm, an awareness session entitled “First Aid – Gestures that Save” took place in the ESEJD gymnasium, which aimed to raise awareness among students and teachers about the issue of accidents and incidents that occur in public spaces and cause physical and health damage to humans.

This short awareness-raising action was intended to make the school community aware of preventive measures to avoid the most common accidents and to raise awareness of the importance of knowing action plans aimed at alerting the authorities and providing first aid before adequate means of assistance arrive at the scene of the accident.

More than thirty students were present, some teachers and ESEJD technical and support staff.
