Apart from the room in the Red Cross office that is currently fervently being painted, refurbished and redecorated, another part of this project has so far been neglected; preparations for the workshop day.
The idea of organizing some sort of workshop for people in Bijieljina was put forward by the Bosnian volunteers and thus the second week in Amajlije has not only seen the arrival of another group of Bosnian RC volunteers but also the start of serious discussions about the kind and range of activities this workshop day should offer.
In essence, this workshop day will not be a workshop day, but rather a workshop evening starting from 7 pm.
Different stalls will be set up all around King Peter’s square in the center of Bijeljina offering food (from corn, pancakes, cookies to Swiss specialties), introduction to first aid and basic medical care, folk dance lessons, music, and martial arts performances. The idea behind the workshop day is to show and present the competences of young Red Cross volunteers, in an effort to reach out to the local community and, perhaps, to get more people interested in the activities and principles of the Red Cross and Red Crescent movement.
As far as publicity goes, a few good volunteers from both the Swiss and Bosnian team have created a logo and a flyer. Latter will be distributed all over town, so look out for yellow spots on the gray walls and buildings. Hopefully, enough people will turn up, if not, the pancakes and cookies will most definitely be in good hands.
