At Ken Walker International University, we believe that life-saving skills should be accessible to everyone.
Organized by KWIU’s Simulation Center, 8th-10th grade students from Tbilisi Public School No.31 participated in a one-day First Aid Training.
Guided by invited lecturers Gvantsa Jachvadze and Luka Kuchava, students developed both theoretical understanding and practical skills for responding effectively to emergencies.
During the training, participants learned how to:
• Perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR);
• Control bleeding effectively;
• Apply the Heimlich maneuver in choking situations.
Particular emphasis was placed on CPR as a vital life-saving technique. Hands-on sessions were conducted in an interactive format using professional training mannequins, allowing students to build confidence through practice.
As part of the visit, students toured the Simulation Center, explored modern medical technologies, and experienced a practical learning environment. A key highlight was an advanced anatomical manikin, currently unique in Georgia and exclusively available at KWIU.
The training aimed to strengthen students’ sense of responsibility, confidence, and ability to respond in critical situations. The activity was coordinated on behalf of the school by biology teacher Natia Gaprindashvili.
