The Councilor for the Environment, Joaquin Villa on, visited this morning the Mobile Training Unit (UMF) of the school campaign “Learn to grow with security”, installed in the park of La Palomar, where students of CEIP Pieta Salvador Rued have received training on risk prevention.
The U.M.F. of “Securitas” is the main scenario for this activity, with different educational games in which, in a playful and fun way, topics such as dangers of electricity, cuts, the dangers of poisoning with chemicals, burns or falls.
Educational play activity in which the students participate is divided into several phases. In the first place, they receive the comic-bus, in which funny vignettes appear, which represent situations that give rise to child accidents and indicate measures of prevention and protection that must be adopted to avoid accidents. The protagonist of the comic is Security @ as a prevention mascot (sewn-in reflective fabric), who will help them to have a healthy life without accidents.
Next, a mimicry game is performed with two participants chosen at random, who simulate a cut and an asphyxia. The rest of the classmates must guess what happened (accident), what are the causes (risks) and how they should act so that the accident does not happen (prevention).
The students have also worked with panels representing various types of accidents. Two volunteers who wear reflective vests have had to order 6 cartoons divided into two paths: green, security and red, danger. In the first, the characters of the vignettes heed the advice of Security @ and avoid danger, so the situation ends in a happy ending. In the second, by not taking into account the preventive message of Security @, the characters adopt the path of “no prevention”, which ends in an accident.
The transfer of chemical products and work with personal protective equipment (EPI) has been other aspects that the campaign has addressed, to which end the students have received a high visibility vest. Then, as a reminder of the day, a group photo was taken, accompanied by the monitors of the activity.
