🏢 About the local organisation
As a new organization, founded in 2020, we do not want to wait until the pandemic is over to start our projects. Although in our country the entry of tourists is allowed, the workcamps that we are organizing are being planned for the mid-year season or even later. With our virtual camps we want to give the participants the opportunity to learn and at the same time live an online cultural exchange, which we will seek to strengthen through different dynamic and group activities.
The pandemic and confinement have imposed new challenges on us, and virtual projects are a great opportunity to stay active as an organization, to get closer and learn in a different way.
💼 What the programme involves
The aim of this virtual camp is that the participants take with them a basic knowledge of first aid, that can be useful and of great help during a Workcamp or in any life situations. Knowing how to react during an emergency can save lives.
During the virtual camp, the participants will learn to identify different injuries and traumas and how to treat them in different scenarios before receiving professional help.
Likewise, the participants will know the steps to follow to provide help to a person at risk. Moreover, and preparing a bit for our future workcamps in Colombia, we will tackle some tropical and environmental-related diseases.
This activity will be led by a fifth-year medical student, and will be an opportunity for participants to learn by doing and actively participate in different workshops and activities.
4 sessions will be held, each one will last approximately 90 minutes.
