Are "real life lessons" starting in German schools?

A sensational news in the European secondary education system: in schools in Germany, children are now being prepared for war and other crises. This was announced by the country's deputy Roderich Kiesewetter in an interview with the Handesblatt.

“We need not only a lesson plan, but also life scenarios!” – says the deputy.

From natural disasters to military conflicts - we need to be prepared for everything

According to the deputy, emergency preparedness courses should be introduced in schools. Through these courses, children will learn how to act in a natural disaster, military conflict or other extreme situations.

Interestingly, such a system has already been launched in Finland and has paid off. Germany is just beginning to pay serious attention to this issue.

Children are not the future, but the most vulnerable group today

As Kiesewetter emphasized, children are the most vulnerable group during crises. That is why it is so important to protect them and teach them not to lose themselves in emergency situations.

The German Ministry of the Interior also supported this initiative and called for strengthening civil defense education.

72-hour “survival” equipment

The “Emergency Preparedness Strategy” presented by the European Commission states that every citizen should prepare a minimum stock of the following items at home:

- Drinking water;
- Medicines;
- Matches, fire extinguishers;
- Flashlights and chargers;
- Warm clothing;
- Long-term food products.

These devices should guarantee that a person can independently provide for himself for at least three days.

Truth: Europe is no longer moving towards “teaching” schools, but rather “preparatory” ones!

Education today is becoming a field of imparting not only sciences and knowledge, but also the experience necessary for survival in life. Against the backdrop of natural disasters, wars or global crises, such approaches are becoming increasingly popular in European society.
