CPR for Schools – our educational initiative

The initiative was launched in 2006. We want to introduce universal CPR and first aid education to all primary pupils. We organise free training courses. Our qualified instructors show primary school teachers all they need to know about CPR and teaching first aid to their young pupils. We also provide books and teaching aids to schools taking part in the initiative, so that children from primary schools nationwide have access to free, universal first aid and CPR education!

30,763 teachers took part in the training 12,593 schools participate in the programme 91% of schools in the country participate in the educational initiative

almost 3,000,000 children learned CPR

Learning CPR can be fun

We want to promote first aid and CPR knowledge, so we hold two events aiming to show how easy and fun it is to learn CPR.

Break the Record in a Simultaneous CPR session is a nationwide event, held in aid of World Restart a Heart Day. We want to promote CPR knowledge everywhere by encouraging organisations and individuals to take part in a simultaneous CPR session. To date, 661,213 people joined our initiative!
