Our lifestyle has suddenly changed. Also work changed. Previously we had joint working in the evening, this now becomes difficult or impossible. It should not be that nothing happens anymore to competence in the care sector. What is still possible? In which alternative ways can we implement training and practice?
A lot of questions and few answers. On this page we share initiatives and experiences regarding "learning skills remotely". Webinars, streaming, e-learning, Elo, but also the social aspect. What is going well, but above all, what's not good and what can others learn? At present, Safety Regions North Holland North, South Holland South, Gelderland South, Mentaalbewust and FireWare have joined forces. We learn from each other and share experiences on this steep learning curve. We do not guard this information to ourselves, we actively share it through social media and on this site.
Do you need information or want to contribute? Do not hesitate to contact us. We love working together. Sharing with others enriches you!

As many people know, FireWare started from a theatre technical origin. From these origins, we help to give substance to staging, BVL, competece and remain skilled of aid workers.

Als instructeur heb je een platform. Of live voor de klas, of voor een camera. Je geeft les, je onderwijst. Dat is een grote verantwoordelijkheid. En dat vraagt om passie. Anders hou je het simpelweg niet vol. Met de tijd leer je dat je bepaalde zaken in een specifieke situatie…

If only it were so easy to name one software which we can all use. Then we would not spend time writing this article. But unfortunately, practice is different from theory. We compared the situation of the webinars of the safety regions Noord-Holland Noord and Zuid-Holland Zuid. The basics are…
Everything was set up by Wednesday evening, 1 April for FireWare’s first ever online evening exercise session.

Many emergency response bodies are currently struggling to learn and maintain skills. Remote teaching is a way to continue developing skills, even in these challenging times.
