Unrestricted access to moderation cards for firefighters in Kamishibai storytelling theater

The Association of Fire Brigades in North Rhine-Westphalia (VdF NRW) and Provinzial have teamed up to develop new picture stories for the Kamishibai storytelling theater. These stories, available free of charge, focus on essential learning contents for fire safety education: "Recognizing dangers" and "Correct behavior in case of fire."

The Kamishibai storytelling theater is a valuable instrument for fire safety education, strengthening self-protection and self-help skills in children from kindergarten to primary school age. The traditional storytelling form from Japan, using picture cards inserted into a wooden frame, has proven to be an effective tool in conveying vital knowledge for fire safety in a fun, engaging way.

Maria Koch, fire safety education and awareness officer at the Association of Fire Brigades in NRW, emphasizes the importance of the Kamishibai storytelling theater. "Recognizing dangers and reacting correctly in an emergency are essential learning contents of every fire safety education for children," she explains.

These new picture stories are a fixed component in all fire safety boxes handed over to fire brigades. The press contact for the Association of Fire Brigades in NRW is Maria Koch at [email protected].

The two new picture stories for the Kamishibai story theater were developed by the German Firefighters Association (Deutscher Feuerwehrverband).

The Association of Fire Brigades in NRW, a public insurer that supports the fire safety education of children, is dedicated to making these resources available to fire departments across the region.
