The project First Aid and its training "FAST" is submitted by Střední zdravotnická škola a Vyšší odborná škola zdravotnická, Nymburk in cooperation with other elementary and secondary schools from Italy, Turkey, Latvia and Romania. With some of the partners we have had a long-term cooperation , some schools cooperate with us for the first time. The project is planned for two years. There are 5 elementary and secondary schools involved in the project, students are in the age 7-17. Each school creates a project team of around 10 (15) students and at least 4 teachers. Each project meeting is always attended by 5 students and 2 teachers from each school. The student working group at each meeting will have 25 students and 10 teachers. This number of participants will allow the groups to work effectively, and teachers will be able to manage and lead these groups successfully. There will be 100 students' and 40 teachers' mobilities in 5 LTTAs during two years' project period. Approximately 800 individuals will directly benefit the project results from 5 partner organisations.
