ABOUT C & U CPR AND FIRST AID SEMINARS
C & U CPR and First Aid Seminars is a training program that teaches practical, life-saving skills to Ugandan educators and students. Through hands-on instruction and simple lesson plans, the program helps teachers bring emergency response training into the classroom.
The goal is clear: give educators and students the knowledge and confidence to act in real-life situations and save lives.
The program is supported by classroom-based lesson plans and related materials, including a textbook filled with dozens of ways to teach CPR and Health. This project is in partnership with the Ministries of Education and Health. It also includes a digital platform where educators can access updated health information and share feedback with their peers to help improve lessons over time.
