EUFOR in Bosnia and Herzegovina has cooperated with EUFOR’s MICC, BH MAC and the AFBIH to provide EUFOR and its Liaison and Observation Teams with a Virtual Educational Tutorial Video. This allows the delivery of Mine Risk Education classes in kindergartens in schools and homes during the pandemic. With contact with the public now limited due to COVID-19 restrictions the MRE video facilitates the education of children about mines while adhering to COVID-19 restrictions. Children will learn what mines are, the dangers of them and how to safely avoid mines.
