Good practices in the Enred@te Pilot Project: a digital social network for older adults and Spanish Red Cross volunteers

The Enred@te initiative, created by Red Cross, the Vodafone Foundation and the TECSOS Foundation, emerged as an evolution of a previous project that developed and piloted a video-communication solution with older adults, using a system installed in their own televisions. Following the success of this first initiative, it was decided to advance toward a more flexible, robust, easy-to-use and high-quality solution, producing a social network accessible through tablets. Older adults can use the network to video-communicate with other older adults and stay informed on various topics of interest. Additionally, a new innovation incorporates the participation of virtual volunteers, a part of the network that promotes its use in an inclusive and participative manner. This solution was also piloted in 2014 with positive results and work to turn it into a service that can reach older adults through the Red Cross is currently on-going.

Global lines : a citizenship teaching resource for secondary schools.

Con la finalidad de concienciar e involucrar a los estudiantes de secundaria en los problemas mundiales,la Cruz Roja Británica ha desarrollado este recurso que introduce a los alumnos en el concepto de ciudadania del mundo, y les ayuda a comprender mejor el mundo que les rodea y su lugar en él. También, conocen el significado de conceptos como la diversidad, los derechos humanos, la democracia, la justicia social y la participación activa. Las actividades propuestas exploran algunas de las dificultades y los dilemas morales a los que se enfrentan personas en situaciónes violentas y de conflicto, y estudian la respuesta a estas crisis por parte de organizaciones como la Cruz Roja y la Media Luna Roja. Se estudian, en concreto, los casos de Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ruanda e Irlanda del Norte.
