The Academy of Civil Protection was inaugurated on Saturday at Villia Attica, with the leadership of the climate crisis and civil protection Ministry attending.
The Academy seeks to signal a new start for volunteering in Greece. Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Minister, Christos Stylianides said, noting that there will be a new structure that is open to society and will enhance the skills and knowledge to volunteers, covering a long-standing need for crisis management issues in Greece.
He said the Academy will "be the heart of national civil protection policy" of Greece, revealing that the school of volunteers and volunteer organizations started appearing the previous day. "Voluntarism is an inextricable part of the Civil Protection Mechanism", Stylianides said.
"Volunteerism in Greece has a long history and tradition that needs to be made systematic. Its contribution is great, on the one hand, but needs to be structured in a way that serves both the final outcome and the volunteers," he added.
The inauguration was attended by government officials, the leadership of the fire brigade, MPs, representatives of the armed forces and local government and volunteer organizations
