A group of students from the Pedagogical University, under the supervision of lecturer Perch Karapetyan, within the framework of the course on Emergency Situations participated in
the training events arranged at the RA MES Crisis Management State Academy (CMSA).
The aim of the training headed as “Ladies and girls- visible and invisible force to facing disaster” is to raise the level of the society awareness to reduce disaster risks, to encourage women and girls’ involvement and to develop ability to resist disasters.
On the first stage of the training rescuers and students demonstrated their skills of saving people’s lives by taking the victims down from windows of blocks by ropes.
Further, on the next stage of the event, a car accident was performed where a female driver received head and spinal conditional injuries. Here, the students managed to save the victim by taking her out of the car and to pass her to the ambulance stuff.
