Children in Chernihiv and Kherson regions learn important safety rules

In October, specialists from the Ukrainian Red Cross Tracing Service held educational sessions for children in Chernihiv and Kherson regions. During the sessions, they used the ‘How Not to Get Lost’ colouring book, which helps explain safety rules to children in an accessible and engaging way.

In Chernihiv region, 23 seven-year-old pupils took part in the session. Through games and interactive activities, the children learned basic safety rules and what to do if their parents, teachers or other accompanying adults are not nearby.

In Kherson region, the session was held at a local museum and brought together 15 children. Using the colouring book, participants discussed situations and places where they might get lost, how to prevent this and what to do if they lose contact with their families. In particular, they talked about how to stay safe in crowded and unfamiliar places, how to ask for help and why it is important to let their parents know where they are.

These activities help children learn safety rules in an accessible and interactive way, recognise potentially dangerous situations and understand what to do if they lose contact with their families.
