Deputies of the Russian State Duma visited the Educational Center of Safety of EMERCOM

Maria Butina, deputy of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, member of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, and Tatyana Butskaya, deputy of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Family Protection, Paternity, Maternity and Childhood, became honorary guests of the Russian Emergencies Ministry’s Safety Training Center. During the excursion they were immersed in all kinds of emergency situations that a person may encounter. At the end of the tour, Maria Butina, a well-known Russian political and public figure, shared her impressions:

– This is not my first visit to Belarus, and once again I am surprised by what I saw. I learned a lot of new and useful things, and I realize how important it is for a child, for adults, for those who work with children. This experience should be adopted by absolutely everyone.

She noted how important it is to teach children how to behave in various emergency situations by immersing students in an environment that mimics the emergency situation as much as possible, and learning the material in depth while enhancing the emotional perception of the simulated situation.

– It is very important for a child, for a teenager, when you are not just taught at a desk, but bring elements of interactivity, as it is implemented here, in the Center.

Let us remind you that the Educational Safety Center of the Ministry of Emergency Situations is a three-storey building with a basement with a total area of 10879 square meters. There are 37 interactive training sites on transport safety, emergency situation safety, civil defense, fire and environmental safety, as well as criminal safety, healthy lifestyle, dangerous meteorological phenomena, nuclear and radiation safety, industrial safety and much more.
