FIRST 72 — Erasmus+ Training for Youth Workers

Europe is facing a growing number of natural disasters — wildfires, floods, earthquakes, heatwaves. Youth workers are increasingly on the front line of community response, but few have formal training in crisis preparedness.
FIRST 72 is an Erasmus+ KA1 training course addressing exactly this gap. Hosted by Hellas For Us in partnership with 6 organisations across South-Eastern Europe, the course brings 35 youth workers together for 7 days of immersive, hands-on learning:
▶ Crisis simulations under time pressure
▶ First aid and CPR (peer-led)
▶ Emergency planning and grab-bag design
▶ Hiking, shelter-building, and outdoor survival
▶ Country research on civil protection systems
▶ Community resilience initiative development
