Abstract
The paper is based on the Teachers' Action for Health - TA4H project - funded by the European Commission under the Erasmus+ KA220-SCH - Cooperation partnerships in school education. The project is being implemented by the EuroEd kindergarten and primary school in Iasi, Romania, within a partnership of schools, NGOs, universities, and health institutions from Turkey (coordinator), Bulgaria, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania and Romania. The main goal of the project is to help teachers in primary and preschool education improve their knowledge and increase awareness of emergency situations when students may need first aid intervention. The project aims to promote the continuity of such knowledge and skills, and also to encourage teachers’ use of digital educational materials. Understanding the importance of first aid and chronic disease management in schools is crucial to ensuring the safety, well-being, and academic performance of children. The project stems from a rigorous needs analysis carried out in all partner countries which identifies the top priority issues related to first aid intervention that teachers face. It also looks at the current state of preparedness, availability of resources, and effectiveness of training programmes. The project's declared goal is to develop training programmes for pre-primary and primary teachers that address the specific needs and challenges identified by the research. Consequently, the paper looks into the findings of the needs analysis and provides a number of insights into the project's objectives, target users, and main deliverables.
