Red Cross Launches 15th Summer Caravan: Master Life-Saving First Aid in 9 French Cities

As experts in emergency response with decades of real-world experience, the Red Cross knows firsthand how quickly vital first aid skills fade. That's why we're bringing back our proven Caravan initiative for its 15th edition, touring nine French cities from July 30 to August 18. Stops include Bordeaux, La Ciotat, Metz, Dinard, Illkirch, Savigny-le-Temple, Roquebrun, La Salvetat-sur-Agout, and Cessenon-sur-Orb. These free sessions are open to everyone, including children aged 10 and up, with interactive workshops lasting 30 minutes to two hours.

Our authoritative training covers essential skills: "Alert, massage, defibrillate" (40 minutes), Risk Reduction (40 minutes), and our new comprehensive First Aid and Life-Saving Behaviors course (2 hours). We've even tailored a 30-minute session for children under 10. Residents, locals, and vacationers alike can build confidence in using defibrillators and performing rescues. Visit the Red Cross website for details on past Caravans; the 2016 schedule and map will be posted soon. Don't miss this trusted opportunity to save lives—spread the word.
