FAFSIT4SCHOOLS is innovative Strategic Partnership project whose aim is to develop new fire safety and first aid education tool for pupils and teachers. The project will address deficiency of that kind of education programs at schools. There is no safety and first aid topics uniting education program across EU Member States. Pupils and teachers lack of preparation to react in stressful situations is a huge danger for all society as a whole. In order to cope with these issues it is necessary to ensure as early as possible training using the most innovative, attractive and involving tools.Main objective of the project - to develop innovative interactive fire safety and first aid education system for schools.Main tasks of the project:- Increase fire safety and first aid awareness in schools;- Support innovative teaching and learning;- Ensure inclusive, open and online education;- Reinforce cooperation with partners from other countries;- Improve competences linked to professional profiles (teaching, training);- Better understand interconnections between formal and non-formal education;- Increase motivation and satisfaction in teaching and learning.The project consortium consists of a wide range of partners from different cultures and experiences, from a range of service backgrounds and scale that will represent the various stakeholders involved and that will bring expertise in different fields directly connected with the objectives of the project. The partners are located in a number of different countries with a good geographical spread all over Europe, a well balanced group of fire and rescue services, local, regional and national government organisations, third level research institutions, learning developers and national and EU teacher organisations. A number of Associated Partners (21 school from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Ireland and Denmark) primarily made up of second level schools and other interested stakeholders in each partner country will participate in the FAFSIT4SCHOOLS project.

We also plan to disseminate the outputs of the project through a series of Multiplier events and to a range of sectoral publications. Also it is planned to involve 130 representatives from various organizations which will be acquainted with project results during dissemination events. All activities planned in order to ensure successful implementation of the project and achievement of the intended results. Efforts will be made to sustain this fire safety programme into the future by attempting to incorporate it into the school curriculum throughout countries in Europe. Contact will be made with key educational stakeholders at local, national and European level in order to achieve this.It is planned to arrange 5 transnational meetings, 6 dissemination events and create 2 intellectual outputs.Planned project results:- Fire safety and first aid training course (methodology);- Online e-learning tool.Methodology will combine 5 different modules:- Fire safety course for pupils;- Fire safety course for teachers;- Evacuation practise training course for teachers;- First aid training course for pupils and teachers;- First aid instruction for pupils.Project will help to strengthen transnational network for knowledge and experience sharing, to develop sustainable cooperation structures between fire safety and first aid organizations, educators and public sector. The expected impact is a change of target groups behaviour in extreme situations related with fire and health threat. It is expected that after the project participants will become more informed and responsible dealing with fire and helping persons suffering a serious illness or injury. It will improve the health and well being of students and reduce the possibility of them being injured by fire and also prepare to get ready to help anyone in danger. In the long term this will have a beneficial effect on schools and society in general as it will help to reduce the incidence of fires, number of sudden deaths and to reduce the impact and damage caused by fires that may actually occur. This will be visible in future fire statistics in terms of reduced fire incidents, reduced injuries, deaths and fatalities around Europe.
