26/04/2018 | The CCM and the Croatian Red Cross organized the 12th edition of Youth Camp Atlantis. Starting from the experience of previous editions, in 2016 the aim was to provide a follow up on the priorities highlighted during the 12th Mediterranean Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, particularly concerning the issue of Crisis response and Preparedness. The Camp focused on the increasingly essential role that Youth also have in times of crises. The contribution of Youth is understood in two ways, on the one hand as a proof of implication in the actions tackling crisis response, and on the other hand as witnesses and examples of commitment for a positive change towards a culture of dialogue and peace. |
