Safe Child Academy at Buglo: Learning, Fun, and… a Slide Ride!

Can great fun be combined with learning first aid? At Buglo, we prove that it’s possible! Starting in March 2024, we are opening our doors to the children of Buglo employees, along with their classmates or preschool groups. Get to know our unique initiative – the Safe Child Academy! 

A Company Tour with a Twist 

Children visiting Buglo know from the start that this won’t be an ordinary trip. We begin calmly with a short presentation—but even then, we keep it exciting. We share stories, like how we create our playgrounds using nets fished out of the ocean. We believe in responsible fun, giving materials a second life by transforming them into playground equipment. The kids are often amazed—how is it possible to turn fishing nets into slides? 

Sliding into Action! 

There’s no better way to reach the production hall at Buglo than… sliding down a slide! Yes, at Buglo, stairs are optional—employees and guests can use slides to move quickly and with a smile between floors. For kids, this is often the most exciting moment of their visit. 

What’s Next? Live Playground Production! 

Young explorers get the chance to see firsthand how Buglo playground equipment is made. From design to the finished product—they get to witness the entire process. 

Small Steps to Big Skills – First Aid Workshops 

But that’s not all—the real superpowers are discovered at the end of the visit, under the watchful eyes of true heroes: paramedics from Mimed. During special workshops, children learn the basics of first aid. Each child gets a chance to practice chest compressions and place a person in the recovery position. These are lessons that last a lifetime—not just in theory, but in practice, as the kids literally take matters into their own hands! 

So far, we’ve trained around 200 young rescuers, and we proudly watch them learn the importance of taking action in an emergency. And most importantly—they do it with a smile! 

We want every child who visits us to take home not only memories of sliding down the slide but also knowledge that could one day help someone in the real world. 

Buglo – Combining Fun with Responsibility 

At Buglo, we believe that the best learning happens through movement. Our playgrounds are designed with development, safety, and fun in mind. Now, we’re bringing the same philosophy to children’s visits to our company. We combine play with education, laughter with care, and knowledge with real-life experiences. May the Safe Child Academy continue to grow, shaping new generations who will play responsibly and safely!

Children who visit Buglo know from the very beginning that this will be no ordinary trip. Admittedly, we start quietly – with a short presentation. But even then we don’t talk boredom. Among other things, we tell the story of how we make our playgrounds from… nets fished from the oceans. We make sure to play responsibly, and the materials that come to us have a second life, turning into the equipment you might see on playgrounds. Children are usually shocked – how is it possible to make slides out of nets?

Descent into action!

There’s no better way to get to the shop floor at Buglo than… via down the slide! Yes, at Buglo the stairs are optional – employees and guests can use the slide to move quickly and with a smile between floors. For children, this is often the moment of greatest excitement.

And then what? Live playground production! Little explorers have the opportunity to see how Buglo devices are made. From the design to the finished product, they now know the whole process.

Small steps to big skills – first aid workshop

But it doesn’t end there – the children’s true superpowers are discovered at the very end, and under the watchful eye of the real heroes, i.e. paramedics from the company Mimed. During special workshops, they teach children the basics of first aid. Each child gets the opportunity to practice cardiac massage and putting the injured person in the safe position. These are lessons that stay for a lifetime – and not just in theory, because the kids literally take matters into their own hands!

To date, we have already trained about 200 small rescuers and we watch with pride as they learn the importance of responding in a crisis situation. And most importantly, they do it with a smile on their face!
