Europa Secura 2025: High school students in Brdy demonstrated resilience and team spirit

The fictional state of Dorménie once again became the stage for dramatic events, involving 42 of the best students who advanced to the final from regional rounds. Each region was represented by its best three-member team.

Over five days, the contestants endured a physically and mentally demanding program, ranging from overcoming water and terrain obstacles, through simulations of crisis negotiations, to tests of endurance and teamwork. Among the toughest challenges was negotiating with a native tribe. Other tasks included rescuing and treating a wounded person from a vehicle damaged by an explosive device, rowing a boat, and climbing a rock massif. A particularly demanding task was a thirty-kilometer march, during which students had to use all their skills and cope with maximum physical and mental stress.
