This year, the World Health Organization has chosen Italy to host an event for World Blood Day, celebrating blood donors around the world. The event is scheduled for June 14 at Rome's Auditorium Parco della Musica.
In collaboration with country's largest blood donation associations (AVIS, CRI, FIDAS, FIODS, FRATRES) and alongside Associazione DiCultHer, the Italian National Blood Center has launched a hackathon: #HackDonor2021 to develop digital projects.
The hackathon is divided into five challenges: social media journalism, communication campaigns, app/webapp, video games/comics and online music performances. Each challenge offers a prize and a donation to an association that cares for those affected by blood diseases and blood cancer foundations
a ciascuna delle quali corrisponde un premio e una quota di solidarietà donata ad associazioni di pazienti affetti da patologie ematologiche e fondazioni di cura ad indirizzo onco-ematologico.
Applications are due by May 15, 2021.
Give blood and keep the world beating
