On Saturday the 20th of May at Palazzo Gopcevich, we presented “SALUTE! Festival del Volontariato e della Medicina Umanitaria diffuso nel tempo e nello spazio”. The theme chosen for the day of preview is “Street medicine” and – together with the Volunteering organization Donk Humanitarian Medicine – the following have spoken aside from the Volunteering organization Donk Humanitarian Medicine, the following have spoken and participated to the event:
- CESAIM – Centro Salute Immigrati

It was an intense day full of testimonies. Each of the representatives of the involved Associations have offered an alternative point of view on the topic, by encouraging an open dialogue between the speakers and the public.
The three words that best describe the event are: network, inspiration and sharing.
The appointment in Trieste has allowed the different realities, located throughout the Italian territory, from Milan to Catania, to meet in the same room with the goal to get to know each other, create a network and cooperate to reach common goals.
We thank all the participants, the public and all the people involved, who have welcomed with energy and enthusiasm “SALUTE! Festival del Volontariato e della Medicina Umanitaria”. The dates of the next events will be available soon on our official website (https://festival.donkhm.org/).
