Representatives of institutions, organizations, experts and citizens will gather there in a shared space for knowledge, practical demonstrations and exchange of experience. Visitors will be able to watch demonstrations of specialized equipment and rescue activities, take part in talks and educational initiatives, meet teams from control, emergency aid and civil protection services, and join activities for the youngest participants. Special attention will be paid to children — the strongest reason for us to be more careful, more patient and more responsible. They will learn important lessons about road safety, while adults will be reminded how important their personal example is.
