The General Directorate of Civil Protection celebrates International Children’s Day
In celebration of Universal Children’s Day, observed annually on June 1st, the General Directorate of Civil Protection, accompanied by the National Training and Intervention Unit, participated in the events organized by the Ministry of National Solidarity, Family, and Women’s Affairs at the Martyrs’ Memorial in Riad El Feth Square, Algiers.
The event featured an interactive space and an awareness-raising exhibition for children and families, including numerous recreational, educational, and awareness-raising workshops. These workshops aimed to instill a culture of prevention and safety in children in a simple and enjoyable way, and to introduce them to the various tasks of the Civil Protection and its role in protecting people and property.
Furthermore, educational and practical workshops were held on the principles of first aid, preventing home accidents, and proper conduct when facing various dangers. These workshops, along with recreational activities and engaging competitions, contributed to bringing joy and happiness to the children and reinforcing preventative messages in their minds.
The event also featured a distinguished participation from the Civil Protection Cubs teams of the Blida Civil Protection Directorate. This training and educational space aims to instill values of citizenship, volunteerism, and discipline in young people, highlighting the role these teams play in promoting a culture of prevention and first aid within the community.
The Civil Protection Cubs also presented practical demonstrations in first aid, showcasing a high level of training and mastery of basic first aid techniques.
This participation reflects the Civil Protection’s commitment to supporting various initiatives aimed at children and contributing to building a generation aware of and imbued with a culture of prevention and safety. This is achieved by bringing children closer to the Civil Protection service and familiarizing them with the importance of preventative measures in protecting lives and property.
