Ukrainian volunteers, civic activists and war crimes documenters met the first spring sun at the 2402 Foundation HEFAT (Hostile Environment and First Aid Training).

On March 8th, training participants learned to protect yourself in the digital environment and essential information on digital media with co-founder and member of the board of the NGO "Laboratory of Digital Security" Iryna Chulivska. The second half of the day was devoted to risk assessment before traveling to and directly in a hostile environment. Co-founder of Fund 2402 and the Danish non-profit organization Daily Humanity, media manager Roman Stepanovych explained how to protect when going to work in war zones.

During the next two days, the participants learned about stoping bleeding, applying tourniquets, examining a wounded person according to the MARCH protocol, emergency evacuation of victims under fire and orientation in dangerous terrain and fortifications, as well as put the acquired knowledge into practice. The tactical medicine trainers of the 2402 Foundation Dmytro Gladyshevskyi and Serhiy Yefimchuk and trainers from the "Shield" organization were responsible for this.
