In Kehychivka community, the team of Peaceful Heaven of Kharkiv Charitable Foundation conducted mine safety sessions for children and adults as part of the Safe Steps project.
Children learned in an accessible and engaging way how to recognize potential hazards and what to do if they encounter an explosive ordnance item. Adults also joined the training and had an opportunity to use VR headsets, which help participants practice the correct behavior in situations that closely resemble real-life scenarios.
“The topic is highly relevant, the materials were informative, and the children were very satisfied and gained many positive impressions. We sincerely thank you and look forward to further cooperation,” — Larysa Kyrychenko, Director of Preschool Educational Institution No. 1.
“While physical demining is still underway, people need to know how to protect themselves and their communities. Cooperation with the Peaceful Heaven of Kharkiv Charitable Foundation team makes it possible to reach areas where this knowledge is particularly needed,” — David Parker, Operations Specialist at UNOPS.
The project is implemented in cooperation with the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) with financial support from the Government of Japan.
