SCENARIOS
In scenario discussions the trainees bring theory they just learned into practice.
​
A set of scenarios has been developed, covering the various relevant dimensions (C, B and R, intentional and accidents).
HANDS-ON TRAINING
By hands-on training trainees learn to apply their knowledge. Two such elements are included in the MELODY curriculum. Some hands-on trainings include short videos with examples that can be found this website. It is advised to assess if the MELODY hands-on training is in line with the corresponding protocols in your organization and country.
TABLETOP EXERCISE
The focus of the tabletop exercise (TTX) is to practice the learned modules in a safe environment with a focus on the inter-agency collaboration.
​
The TTX material contain Powerpoint presentations for guidance, scenario descriptions, detailed guidelines, scripts, maps... and more.
E-LEARNING
For module 1 (Terminology) and module 2 (CBRN basics) an e-learning is available. In these modules, trainees will be trained in the very basic knowledge on the general principles of CBRN, aiming the trainees to recognize a potential CBRN threat and recall how to act.
The e-learning is responsive to the screen size, so accessible on a smartphone, tablet and laptop and contains interactive parts and quizzes.
TEST QUESTIONS
Most modules have a “Test” component, indicated with “Test” behind the number of the learning objective. This is a number of questions to be given to the trainees.
MELODY CARD GAME
To cope with the limited time first responders have for their training and education, as well as the probable low amount of CBRN events first responders will face, a card game was developed, This card game can be played any time, any place. The game is questions based and can be played with a small group, in teams, or even individually. The game is available in multiple languages and can be obtained from the MELODY consortium.
