One of the flagship projects initiated and run by the charity behind the festival is CPR for Schools Programme. This educational initiative aims to introduce primary school children to the basics of CPR and first aid. Kids learn how to behave in an emergency and how to call for help. They take to this knowledge like fish to water and we are proud to say that our educational programme has been instituted in 91% of primary schools in Poland.

We invited kids and adults attending Woodstock Festival Poland to take part in a quick and fun course where they could learn how to administer CPR. Thanks to the joint effort of our qualified instructors working in the CPR for Schools tent and the staff at the Volkswagen's 'Little Rescuers' tent we have taught almost 1000 people how to help others!
