Aside from the contest, the Civil Protection and Emergency Agency wanted to acknowledge the video about 1-1-2 sent last November by the Bergidum Special Education Center in Ponferrada (León), as well as the drawings and letters dedicated to the 1-1-2 operators prepared by Primary students from La Milagrosa and Santa Florentina schools in Valladolid, which they handed over during their visit to the emergency center in March.
The Civil Protection and Emergency Agency organizes the ‘What is 1-1-2 for you?’ contest, which this year reached its thirteenth edition, as part of the activities scheduled every year on the occasion of European 1-1-2 Day, celebrated on February 11.
The contest aims to achieve two fundamental objectives, which are, on one hand, to inform children and adolescents in the Community about the European emergency hotline and its operation, and on the other hand, to promote responsible use of the emergency number among them.
