Treasure Hunt & Flashmob (World AIDS Day)

Together with Fondazione Foresta, an organization that provides free HIV tests, ESN Padova holds an info point about HIV and AIDS in one of Padova's city center's busiest points, offering warm drinks and Christmas treats to passers-by. International students are invited to join in an AIDS-related flash mob to draw attention to the info point. Then, the students again participate in pairs in a treasure hunt which takes place within the city center, showing off their red colors and carrying red balloons, animating the city by drawing attention to the cause. At every step of the treasure hunt the participants are challenged with an AIDS-related game aimed at testing their knowledge about the matter and educating them. Croce Rossa Italiana kindly provides us with materials for these games and in one of these teaches how to properly use a condom. The winning couple is awarded free tickets for our Gala Night event.
