Red Cross celebrates anniversary on the Bundesplatz
The Swiss Red Cross is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2016. To kick off the anniversary year, an opening event was held on April 2, 2016, on Bundesplatz in Bern, attended by approximately 3,500 people. It was organized by Relounge.
SRC President Annemarie Huber-Hotz said that the 50th anniversary year should be a year of humanity, because without humanity there is no life worthy of the name.
The SRC is using its anniversary year, together with the Red Cross cantonal associations, rescue organizations and institutions, to maintain contact with the public, partners and authorities and to demonstrate the services it provides in the service of humanity at home and abroad.
The opening ceremony offered the SRC volunteers and employees, as well as the general public, an entertainment program on the Bundesplatz, the highlights of which included musical performances by the two charity ambassadors Nubya and Greis.
Relounge is responsible for the entire live communication for the opening event on the Bundesplatz in April and the ceremony in June 2016.
