ForestFM project: getting young people involved in forest fire prevention through radio |
|
|
This ISPUP project aims to involve young people in the promotion of favourable attitudes and behaviours towards fire prevention among the populations that have been most affected by the forest fires that have occurred in Portugal in recent years. To do this, the project will assist them in the creation of a participative radio programme that intends to help the community be better prepared to prevent the occurrence of forest fires and know how to act in situations of risk. |
