With our first school outreach, the Campus Heroes visited Humboldt Gymnasium Greifswald. Together with other dedicated initiatives, we were able to offer students a diverse and hands-on insight into various topics related to health, prevention, and civic engagement.
Alongside the LandRetter, AG EHmed, AG Organ Donation, and the Blood Donation team – who initiated the event – we had the opportunity to shape the day together.
As part of our contribution, we gave a presentation on stem cell registration, explaining how a potential donation works. A special focus was placed on personal exchange: our speaker shared her own experience as a stem cell donor, giving the students an honest and impactful first-hand insight into the process.
To conclude, the newly gained knowledge was tested in a quiz. Students aged 17 and older were also given the opportunity to register directly as stem cell donors. Twenty-one students took advantage of this opportunity. Their registrations will be activated in the registry once they turn 18.
The school outreach demonstrated how important early education and personal insights are. We would like to thank Humboldt Gymnasium Greifswald for the invitation, as well as everyone involved for the excellent collaboration—and we look forward to many more school visits in the future.
