Dear Sir or Madam,
We are a nurses' training school in the Czech Republic and we are looking for further international schools that would like to take part in our first-aid contest.
As we wanted to find out whether our students are able to put the acquired skills and knowledge into practice, we started to organise a first-aid contest under simulated-emergency conditions several years ago. This contest covers one day and takes place in the picturesque region of Vysočina, about 100 km from Prague.
The experience we have gained has confirmed our expectation, that this form of knowledge acquirement is very attractive and profitable for the students and lives up to our target to show them how to respond to possible emergency situations.
After several years of positive experience we decided to make this event accessible to students from other nurses' training schools as well. In the beginning we addressed only schools in the immediate vicinity, but since 2002 we accept participants from all over the country (see result lists and photos on www.szs-ji.cz). Regular guests are also students from our partner school in Germany and students from Slovakia.
The guest team arrives at the venue one day before the contest.
Teams of four people each compete with each other. The main focus of the contest lies on the ability to improvise and the final result of the applied fist-aid in the simulated emergency situation.
The aim of the contest is not only to test and compare the students' skills but primarily to offer students and teachers from national and international schools an opportunity to establish new contacts and to exchange experiences.
We hope that we were able to arouse your interest and would be very glad to hear from you soon.
Details.
