Increasing the knowledge and skills related to CPR and cardiac arrest can play a dramatic role in saving lives. The younger age groups are more willing and available to learn CPR manoeuvres than the mature ages. For this reason, the Italian Resuscitation Council (IRC), has created the official logo of the international campaign “Kids Save Lives”. Therefore IRC is happy to welcome as many countries as possible to join the project (https://www.erc.edu/projects/kids-save-lives).

  • Preserve the image of KSL project;
