In order to make sure that all implementing partners wishing to deliver Mine Risk Education (MRE) activities in Lebanon have acquired the necessary skills and knowledge to conduct MRE sessions, the LMAC has initiated new comprehensive MRE trainings followed by evaluations, accreditations and QA visits.
On December 8th, 2014, the Lebanon Mine Action Center (LMAC), in collaboration with BLOM BANK displayed a variety of mines, cluster bombs and unexploded ordnances and warning signs in the framework of the CSR Workshop that was organized under the patronage of BDL Governor Riad Salamé.
Under the close supervision of the LMAC, the Mines Advisory Group (MAG) organized a series of 20 mine risk education plays performed by the "Clown Without Border" team to school students around Lebanon, from 3 to 16 December 2014, in order to convey the mine awareness messages to prevent children from the dangers posed by mines/ERW.
Under the supervision of the LMAC, and in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education and with the support of the EU, the Balamand University organized MRE training sessions to enhance skills and knowledge of national actors to deliver MRE activities to students in 500 official schools throughout Lebanon, from 8 to 16 October 2014.
