While the role of civil protection organizations is particular crucial during disasters and major emergency situations, these events are fortunately rare and a significant part of the daily work in civil protection regards often prevention and preparedness in situations less dramatic but nevertheless important. The development of disaster prevention and awareness in the civil protection is closely linked to the ability of drawing in the experiences and learning of this daily work as well as using the daily operation in non-disaster situations to create networks with and broader awareness among other key stakeholders and the public on risk-management, disaster prevention and preparedness. Having said this, the overall rational of the proposed project is to provide: a. Free Access to and Open Educational Resources in different languages (English, French, Italian and Greek). b. Knowledge, skills and core competences for CP volunteers. c. Supporting integration Services (i.e. self assessment tools like mini games, a coaching session) for informal CP volunteers with lower levels of qualifications In general, the consortium decided to work on the development of basic and transversal skills because is crucial for Nature Conservation and Social Safety facing Natural Disasters. The most important results of CiProVot are: a. Good practices mapping and conclusions, regarding the current CP situation. b. Training sessions should been designed and elaborated dedicated to the specific teams of volunteers and competent in the management of vulnerable categories of citizens. c. Development and testing of innovative ICT tools for CP activities. To assess the goals of the project, the partnership has planned 4 Outputs and 2 blended learning mobilities. The 4 IOs will be: Report on practices and skills identification of Volunteers, Training methodology for dealing with knowledge, skills and core competences of Civil Protection Volunteers, Learning and training objectives and content, developing of a MOOC ON CP VOLUNTEERS. The blended mobilities will take place both in Greece, respectively in January and December 2018 and will host 25 adults as a whole (5 for each partner, Greece not included).

A MOOC with four modules and orginal training material and videos for those who are approaching CP actvities for the first time, The MOOC has been validate by both experts and volunteers in the field of the CP and it is now freely available through the project website https://ciprovot-project.eu/ under the "Learn" section.
