A comparative research was realized, two international meetings were implemented and methodology was set for preparation of school management, teachers and students for risk prevention. Series of trainings designed to improve the preparedness of 20 schools in BG and RO in case of disasters were realized.

Training of trainers (volunteer club leaders) were organised in both countries - 07-10.09.2016 in Bulgaria and 12-15.01.2017 in Romania.

Trainings for school management took place in Bulgaria (17-18.11.2016) and Romania (16-17.01.2017).
