The project
EUinAID – YOUTH INVOLVED IN FIRST AID
WHY WE HAVE DECIDED TO SUBMIT THE PROJECT?
There are different approaches on First Aid training in Europe with a significant gap between
- North Europe – between 95-70% of people trained in First Aid in Norway, Germany, Austria
- South Europe – a very low percentage
- In the rest of the world, many countries have only the 5-10% of people trained in First Aid.
Europe is facing several challenges:
- Increasing of aged population
- Increasing of Road accident
- Increasing of Hearth diseases
- Increasing of Chemical and environmental hazards
- Increasing of Alcoholism among young people

- Promoting First Aid awareness and training all over Europe
- Promoting Homogenization of techniques practice to minimize the effects of injuries and diseases
