We will share a selection of online and offline courses and lessons for adults and children — from first aid to mine safety.
Ukraine has been in a state of full-scale war for nine months. Because of russia's aggression, many Ukrainians now more than ever need knowledge about the algorithm for action in extreme conditions, self-defense, and first aid. Where can you get them right now?
Possessing at least elementary protection skills in emergencies is necessary for every Ukrainian today. The military, rescuers, public organizations, charitable foundations, and educators joined the development of the relevant courses. Rubryka tells about current available courses and training in civil protection. Most of them are free of charge.
UWG instructors are selected very carefully and meticulously. One of the main requirements is a real experience, not just a set of theoretical knowledge.

Where and how should you hit, and then what should you say to stay free?
