The event took place on 28 June in the auditorium of the Ciudadela Municipal de Quevedo "Simón Bolívar", in the presence of cantonal authorities, teachers and students of the UTEQ.

This project aims to train students from four municipal schools in Quevedo: Diecisiete de Marzo, Futuros de la Patria, Ciudad del Norte, and Juan de Dios Zarate in risk prevention.

A total of 30 students, from the aforementioned career, are part of this linking project that will be carried out in two stages over two years.

Emma Aguilera, Municipal Education Coordinator, expressed her gratitude to UTEQ for their interest in training children and saving lives; she also commented that 700 students and 35 school teachers will benefit from these workshops.
