The Central and West Brabant Safety Region will soon be the proud owner of one of the most appealing training centres in the country, the Safety Village, with work on the facility continuing at full steam on Pater Geurtjensweg in Tilburg. After an eventful launch phase, the centre will become a location where firefighters can learn and maintain their skills in an inspirational environment, as well as one where hospitality always comes first.
A consortium of companies and organisations are hard at work making this dream come true, and FireWare's contribution has been the experiential design and the integration of the learning and teaching goals. A training centre can become so much more when the all-in experience is given a suitable role in it, especially when catering to the synergy between experience and achieving the learning and teaching goals. When that happens, issues are faced that make all the difference in a thorough course – a focus on dilemmas, leadership, realism and expertise!
