This April, in areas contaminated with explosives, UNICEF will launch this new tool during risk-education sessions in schools with the support of the German and Italian governments. Training sessions will help the children to consolidate the knowledge they receive at the regular lessons in an entertaining way. The training on VR will cover regions affected by the conflict, as well as Dnipro, Zaporizhia and Kharkiv regions, which host ammunition depots and IDPs.
