Little heroes in action: The basics of lifesaving and the secrets of new life revealed to elementary school sophomores!

In the last week of May, students of the nhealthcare study programmes Midwifery and Paramedic Rescue at the Institute of Health Sciences of the Faculty of Medicine of the Medical Faculty of the Masaryk University of Brno, under the guidance of their teachers, presented topics from their fields of study at the Horácké náměstí primary school in Řečkovice, Brno. For second grade pupils, at the request of their teacher Mgr. Jitka Tiché, they prepared educational projects with topics from the field of first aid - "How to behave in a crisis situation" and from the field of reproductive health - "How a new life comes into the world". Second graders had the opportunity to try for example resuscitation and calling for professional help on model situations. On the next day, they solved the "code of life" in prepared worksheets and also tried listening to heart activity with a stethoscope on each other. Educators answered lots of probing questions. At the end, the children received small gifts presenting the Faculty of Medicine of Masaryk University. The whole program and the "gummy bears" had a great response among the children and the teacher.
