The aim of the project is to strengthen the crisis preparedness of the Kohtla-Järve community by teaching the necessary skills for coping in crisis situations to the residents through various free training courses. At the seminar, we will tell you more about the project in spring and give out registration forms for the training (first aid, mental first aid, and Women’s National Guard survival training).

As the people in our neighbourhood live in apartment blocks and are connected through housing associations, your participation is very important to us.

You are very welcome—the success of crisis preparedness depends on the contribution of all of us! Please register for the opening session here.       

The Crisis Research Centre has been preparing the Kohtla-Järve community-based civil protection project since May 2024. “We would like to thank all the partners who have helped us to make this project possible. Special thanks are due to the Kohtla-Järve city government and local residents, the Rescue Department, the Civil Society Foundation, and the Estonian Ministry of the Interior. The most important input was also provided by local residents and housing associations, without whom it would have been impossible to prepare this initiative,” said Anne-May Nagel, project manager.                             

🟧🟦 The opening seminar of the Crisis Research Centre’s Kohtla-Järve Crisis Skills Training Programme and the K-36 project are funded by the Ministry of the Interior through the Civil Society Foundation.
