As we are in process of building and preparing our Slovakian GFFF-V Module (…) this exercise was the biggest opportunity to gather as much information as needed.

Witnessing the live unfolding of actions and being able to see how every team is behaving in given conditions as well as their capacity to adapt and to work in close coordination, has made me realize both the complexity and added value of the Union Civil Protection Mechanism. Its an experience not to be forgotten.

The Exchange Programme was a fantastic experience and very beneficial to all participants. It allowed for valuable International collaborations between Emergency and Civil Contingency Organisations. The EoE programme is easy to access and supported by a very efficient team.

All these knowledge and experience gained through this exchange have broadened our personal and professional view and will undoubtedly contribute to improve our daily and long term operational work

Exchange was truly a big eye opener and also on personal level we learned lots new things

I was able to speak to many SAR people and to gain positive ideas from their experience… it was a very good experience for me that I would recommend to repeat

Knowing and interacting with other experts, thus learning about their organizations was the main positive aspect for me.
