Introduction
Agri Aware, AgriKids and the Irish Farmers Association (IFA), supported by The Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine have teamed up to bring the Farm Safe Schools programme to Irish classrooms. The first of its kind, collaborative, the pilot programme engages, educates and empowers Irish children to become farm safety ambassadors. In doing so, helping create a safer, brighter future on Irish farms.
The interactive educational programme is designed to assist teachers in educating their students about the potential dangers associated with farming and agriculture and is part of a national strategy, aimed at reducing the number of accidents on farms and in the countryside.
In addition, this programme is interlinked with the Irish primary school curriculum and will also provide Irish classrooms with fun, interactive resources and webinars.
