On September 13, staffers of Irkutsk Regional branch of the Russian Red Cross conducted a “Getting to Know Each Other Better” training targeting volunteers within the frame of the “Prevention of HIV and Scale up of Care and Support to People Living with HIV in Irkutsk”.

The event was held in the picturesque park located at the “Angara Sanatorium”. 14 students from Irkutsk State Railroad University Medical Nurse School, 18 students from Irkutsk Regional Pedagogical Vocational School and 3 students from Irkutsk State University Law Institute were trained.

The format of the event corresponded to its title “Getting to Know Each Other Better”: exercises were compiled to encourage the participants to meet and get to know each other. The trainees expressed their desires and offers to volunteer for Irkutsk Regional branch of the Russian Red Cross when wrapping up.

All students participated actively in the training; eventually, they made friends with each other and the Red Cross team. Gifts with the logo of the organization were given to the trainees.
