CIVIL SOCIETY: 47 PRACTICES
The "Civil Protection Program, Eso Ready for You and Those Around You" is an experiential program designed by the Hellenic Guidance Corps for children and youth from 5 to 18 years of age.

Upon completion of the program activities, the children obtain the "Civil Protection Degree".
It is aimed at children and young people from 5 to 18 years old
It's a program that started in early 2019 and you're still going.
If there is something that definitely cannot be done, without applying the saying "Eso Etoimos", this is Civil Protection!
By the term Civil Protection we mean the protection of individuals, groups or communities from natural or man-made disasters that may occur in times of peace and lead to emergency situations. Such disasters can be an earthquake, a forest fire, a flood, a heat wave.
Although Civil Protection is the responsibility of each state, it cannot be implemented if each of us is not prepared to anticipate where possible and cope with any disaster.
This means that we must be able to be properly informed, take the necessary preventive and preparedness actions, be able to assess any risk, be able to protect ourselves and others, help in any way we can and get back to normal. our daily lives as soon as possible.
All over the world as well as in our country, disasters happen and will continue to happen - there are many cases, such as the earthquake, that we cannot avoid - and this means that we all have to be properly prepared. This is what we aim for with the "Civil Protection Program". It is noted that this is not a complete guide but through the information and the various activities it offers you, we hope it will wake you up and motivate you to take action, both for you and for those around you and to be able to Be Ready for any case.
Tomorrow's adult citizens can protect themselves and those around them in emergencies by knowing the protective measures they should take before, during and after a catastrophic event. As well as informing and empowering them so that they can act supportively and mobilize others around them.
