BFPA supports BRCY Summer Academy “Back to the future”

During the training the group on prevention of sexually risky behavior merged for one of the sessions with the group of educators on substances addiction prevention, with which the colleagues from the PULSE Foundation were working. The joint session was on design, elaboration and implementation of preventional campaigns. At the end of the module participants split four small groups elaborated thematic health messages which they shared in plenary with the large group.
The culmination of the evening sessions was something that happened at the academy for the first time – REDx. That was the name of Red Cross’s TEDx format. Four speakers took to the stage – motivators, dressed in red. Here are the TED talks in order of appearance with the key word RED in their titles – “Thin RED Line” – Petar Tzintzarski from MoH, “Code RED”- Dr. Rada Stamenkova from BFPA; “InfraRED”- Maria Hristova from BYRC; “The RED Book” – Giuseppe Cassella from the Italian Red Cross. The format was especially highly appreciated by the young people.
At the end of the intense working week all twelve wonderful peer educators from “our” module received their well earned certificates. The module and the Български младежки Червен кръст / Bulgarian Red Cross Youth handbook’s look and contents will be updated and optimized for the next year’s Academy thanks to them, so that in time the new generation of young volunteers can say “This handbook was created as far back as 2018”… Can there be a more real Back-to-the-future than this?
