of all eighth graders participated in the NouHätä! campaign in 2023.
lessons were used by teachers on average for NouHätä! training in the 2023 season.
It’s great that in NouHätä! campaign I can teach these skills to every 8th grader. My dream is to make this an optional course for 8th graders. You should definitely participate in the NouHätä! campaign.
