At Vitebsk Gymnasium No. 8, the preventive campaign "Safety is..." was held in an engaging game format.
A preventive campaign "Safety is..." was held at Vitebsk Gymnasium No. 8 in an interesting game format. First-graders became the heroes of the day. Many of them do not yet know how to turn on a gas stove, so knowledge about safety in working with gas equipment is timely and necessary for them. Moreover, it is acquired in the form of a quest, games, and rewarded with sweet gifts.
Ksyusha Belousova, a student of the 1st "A" grade, was one of the first to complete all the quest tasks and shared her impressions of the interesting challenges:
– The most difficult part for me was the competition where I had to find a hose and a toy car, and the easiest was to determine where the smell of gas was coming from. I liked everything very much.
For the event to be a success, its organizers – UP "Vitebskoblgaz" and the branch of the State Energy Supervision Inspectorate for the Vitebsk Region – had to work hard. Such an event is being held for the first time in the republic and is aimed at preventing the safe use of electrical and heating installations, as well as gas equipment, on the eve of the autumn-winter period.
– We have signed a roadmap for cooperation with Gymnasium No. 8, – said Svetlana Volkova, Deputy General Director for Ideological Work and Social Issues of UP "Vitebskoblgaz". – We have engineering classes, and this is not our first visit here, and older students have visited the enterprise.
Now we have decided to get ahead of the first-graders. They need not only to be told about safety, but also to be shown and to play. And our employees are playing with them, not invited actors from outside. Everything we present are developments of "Vitebskoblgaz".
– Now the Ministry of Energy is conducting the campaign "Safety is...", and all organizations that are part of the Ministry of Energy have joined it, – noted Andrey Vasilevsky, Director of the branch of the State Energy Supervision Inspectorate for the Vitebsk Region. – We must tell children about the dangers that may await them when using electrical, heating, and gas appliances.
First-graders had a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the technologies of the future. Specialists from the ITGaz production department at the Vitebskoblgaz enterprise transported the children into a virtual world, demonstrated a robot dog, and other modern developments that make gas usage even safer and more efficient.
The children prepared for this event in advance. For a month, they drew a safe house and held contests within their classes. As a result, 16 best works were selected and became winners.
After the interactive program, the children were treated to a performance with mascot costumes, conceived and staged by the enterprise's employees. Not a single child left the celebration without a gift and a good mood.
