Volunteer Fire Departments (Związek Ochotniczych Straży Pożarnych Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej ) will be joining the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity Foundation in all efforts connected with the Foundation's educational programme CPR for Schools. The aim of this educational initiative is to introduce first aid and basic life support - CPR training to children in primary schools across the country. The free lessons are conducted by teachers who receive free training and teaching aids from the Foundation.
Volunteer firefighters are qualified first aid professionals and, with more than 50 thousand trained firefighters in their ranks, these volunteer units are perfect instructors and great role models for kids.
Each department, which is interested in becoming the partner of the CPR for Schools Programme will be equipped with free teaching aids and instructed on how to work with their young students. The training on how to teach first aid to children will also be provided by the Foundation.
Five days before the 32nd Grand Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, we visited the 'Pomnik - Centrum Zdrowia Dziecka' (Children's Memorial Health Institute) to ceremoniously inaugurate the first Ophthalmic Simulation Laboratory in Europe dedicated exclusively to the field of peadiatric ophthalmology.
Traditionally, on Fridays just before the Grand Finale fundraiser, the GOCC Foundation hosts a press conference to sum up the preparations for the annual collection. Jurek Owsiak will present all our initiatives, actions, and activities as we prepare to celebrate another edition of the joyous celebration of kindness!
Jurek Owsiak has just announced the first stars to play the 32nd Grand Finale concert in Warsaw. The annual event organised by the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity will be held on 28 January 2024 at the PGE Narodowy meadows
