Consultations: Priorities for FAF Community – Environment
Description:
The Youth Assembly is a place for young people to build partnerships and networks, learn and develop critical skills, and take action that delivers real impact to their local and global communities.
The outcome is a powerful cross-sector and cross-national network among the next generation of leaders, translated into action-based projects and initiatives after the conference. We expect participants to experience The Youth Assembly, not as an event, but as part of a journey that directs significant action and impact on the ground in their communities and across the world.
To guide this journey, the Delegates will help produce a landmark document – FAF’s first Declaration of Priorities, which will set out the primary issues, goals, and strategies for youth action to support sustainable development as determined and agreed upon by The Youth Assembly and the FA community globally. The priorities will gather consultations and input from the Global Action and Impact Network (GAIN), the Youth Assembly Delegates, Alumni, and the broader Friendship Ambassadors Community. Attendees of The 25th Youth Assembly will play a key role by formulating ideas and language for the outcome document. Subsequently, the 26th Session of The Youth Assembly will convene in Summer 2020 to monitor and evaluate the progress of the implementation of the priorities.

CPR Training with Certificate (Pre-Sign Up Required)
The ‘Hero in 30 Training Course: CPR Without Mouth-to-Mouth Ventilation’ prepares you on how to rapidly respond when a person chokes, collapses suddenly or has a cardiac arrest. This 30-minute course teaches a simplified version of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) technique that does not use mouth-to-mouth ventilation. Hence the reason this course is shorter than the conventional resuscitation program, which lasts 4 to 5 hours. Trained individuals will be surer of themselves knowing how to help a friend, family member or other people.
The 30-minutes training course includes theory and practice. Presentations are accompanied by demonstration videos and images to facilitate understanding. Dummies and defibrillators are also employed during practice activities. During the training course, participants learn to recognize signs of complete obstruction of the airways and of cardiac arrest. They also learn the following:
- The Heimlich Maneuver (technique for clearing airways)
- Hands-only CPR
- The use of an automated external defibrillator (AED)
When cardiac arrest occurs, each passing minute diminishes the chances of survival by 10%. Rapid response by someone nearby can make a significant difference and save a person’s life. All participants will receive a certificate of completion by email.
