Tomorrow's security heroes: Children discover the Florian Education Center
In the heart of the Vogtland, the Florian Education Center (FloBIZ) opened in the fire and disaster protection center, and this is attracting the attention not only of the little ones, but also of parents and educators. During the autumn holidays, the doors were opened for children from the “Zwergenland” daycare center in Rodewisch and from the Muldenhammer after-school care center. A big step for early childhood safety education, which is taught here in a practical and child-friendly manner. Vogtlandstreicher reports that the children learn how fires start and what needs to be taken into account in an emergency.
How exactly do children learn this? Through hands-on stations that offer an insight into the exciting work of the fire brigade and disaster control teams. Here the little ones can not only try out real equipment, but also carry out small experiments. This is not only fun, but also promotes awareness of safety in everyday life.
An integral part of the future
From now on, other daycare centers and school classes can also book tours to learn more about fire protection and disaster relief. The educational offering should grow continuously and develop into an integral part of fire protection and safety education in the Vogtland district. A digital booking calendar will be on the website by the end of the year www.katastrophenschutz-vogtland.de unlocked. Interested groups can reserve guided tours and topic-specific modules, for example on fire prevention and correct behavior in an emergency.
The aim of these initiatives is clear: children should be familiarized with dangers in everyday life without fear. This is also supported by the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK), which has been providing special material for children since 2011. The target group is primarily children between the ages of seven and twelve who learn important rules of conduct regarding fire safety, first aid and self-help. These measures are not only preventive, but are also intended to promote children's ability to help themselves and reduce fear of emergencies BBK emphasized.
A common goal of FloBIZ and BBK is to make children strong and to give them the necessary knowledge to be able to react correctly in an emergency. These great programs in the Vogtland district lay an important foundation for the safety education of our youngest children.
