Saturday’s trainings include first aid (by paramedic Andrus Lehtmets), mental health first aid in a crisis (by clinical psychologists from the NGO Peaasjad), as well as the Women’s Voluntary Defence Organisation survival trainings, which will take place in Väike-Õismäe. There will also be online trainings – you can learn how to prepare a family crisis plan from instructors from the Tallinn Municipal Police, and online trainings by paramilitary Women’s Voluntary Defence Organisation will focus on smart evacuation.

“The trainings are a good opportunity to brush up your crisis skills. We encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity, we have top-class trainers and the training is free of charge for the participants,” said Hannes Nagel, Head of the Crisis Research Centre. “More broadly, the project aims to raise the level of crisis preparedness of people in our area. If we each have a broader skill base, we can be prepared for the unexpected and help our family, friends and community,” he said.

A total of 25 training sessions will take place between February and May on a variety of topics. The first groups are already full! The project team thanks the Haabersti district government for contributing to the project.
