Feel Safe is an interactive educational tool to enhance children’s resilience to different hazards, incl.: fires, earthquakes, landslides and floods. It can be used in both formal and informal educational contexts, engaging different age group of children but also teachers.

Feel Safe offers children an interactive methodology in which experience becomes a decisive factor in learning, and the whole process is based mainly on the collective processing of ideas and interaction with the environment in a fun and engaging way. The project proposes creative activities through the application of the Feel Safe website directly supporting educational system in planning and integrating educational module on several hazards in school curricula.

The purpose of the project is to train the general public, providing basic self-protection knowledge, allowing them to identify potential fire hazards that may present in their homes, educational institutions, workplaces, recreational facilities or surroundings. This is a great training program aimed at benefiting society as a whole, through the actions carried out by Fundación MAPFRE and the Madrid Fire Service.

The objective of the project was to allow all citizens (from young to old) in the Netherlands to experience/learn for themselves what to do if they are confronted with a house fire, but also how to prevent this. To make it as realistic as possible, Virtual Reality (360 degree video) technology was utilized. The Fire Brigade VR experience can be downloaded for free via the Apple app store and Google Play store in the Netherlands and Belgium.

This project has developed the first harmonised fire safety programme for post primary schools across Europe. This is teacher led fire safety education resource for post primary students that is interesting, fun and enjoyable for both teacher and students. The new resource has been developed to place student wellbeing and personal safety at the center of learning. The resource aims to ensure students learn the knowledge, skills and attitude necessary to keep themselves and others from fire.

BFireSafe@School was developed by a project consortium of 9 partners from 7 EU countries, lead by the Leitrim County Fire Service from Ireland.

The project was aimed at creating fire safety awareness among vulnerable people. It main results are the website and an interactive game specially designed for people who face difficulties in understanding extensive and/or complex information. Developed fire safety information is prepared and tailored for the following target groups: illiterate, low-income households, people with mental disabilities, people with limited knowledge of the Dutch language in combination with limited knowledge of fire safety (e.g. refugees).

Brandweer.steffie.nl was developed the Veiligheidsregio Midden- en West-Brabant (www.vrmwb.nl), The Netherlands.

The first objective of the project is to learn families about fire safety in a pleasant and funny way. The second objective is for children and their mentors to get to learn about the fire brigade and it tasks.
Coronavirus time has appealed to the creativity of many people, including at the Noord-Limburg emergency fire zone. Fire Brigades were no longer allowed to receive outsiders in fire stations, what resulted in stopping a fire safety education activities. By looking at what was still allowed, the idea arose to provide an outside activities about fire safety that people could do with their own “bubble”. This is how the idea of creating a walk in fire safety was born. From the very beginning, the focus was on children, as building a “fireproof society” should start at an early age. The idea for an interactive walk was created as an alternative to so far educational activities adopted to the times of the coronavirus.

Fire Adventure was developed by the Hulpverleningszone Noord-Limburg, Belgium.
