GÉOCŒUR
The municipality is teaming up with the Alsace-Moselle Local Health Insurance Scheme and the CardiAct association to offer free webinars on life-saving skills.
Lasting about 1 hour, these online sessions allow everyone to:
- (re)learn first aid;
- learn how to use a defibrillator;
- understand how the Géocœur system works: a connected sign, installed in the village, that alerts passers-by when someone nearby has a cardiac arrest.
The webinars are open to all, with no limit on numbers, and completely free. 10 dates are offered in our département so that everyone can find a suitable slot.
Sign up now at: www.apprendreasauverdesvies.fr
Why take part?
- 50,000 cardiac arrests every year in France
- Fewer than 10% of victims get help in time
- 1 hour of learning can be enough to save a life
Together, let's build a community of citizen life-savers! Share, invite your family and friends, and sign up today.
