UniTS celebrates World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day: on May 8, volunteers from the Trieste Committee will be present in the parking area of the Piazzale Europa Campus from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with an information stand.

The space will offer practical first aid demonstrations, alcohol prevention activities related to safe driving, and awareness initiatives focused on the fundamental principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement: Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary Service, Unity, and Universality.

The campaign “Health Care in Danger / I Am Not a Target,” dedicated to the protection of healthcare and humanitarian personnel in crisis contexts, will also be presented.

The occasion, established to mark the anniversary of the birth of Henry Dunant, founder of the Movement, represents a moment of recognition for the commitment of millions of volunteers and humanitarian workers who, every day, act around the world to prevent and alleviate human suffering, protect human dignity, and support the most vulnerable communities.
