The Hackathon for the
WORLD BLOOD DONOR DAY 2021
What:
#HackDonor is the hackathon for the “World Blood Donor Day 2021“, an annual international event to pay tribute to all unpaid voluntary donors for their gift while raising people’s awareness on the importance of regular donations in order to secure high-quality blood and blood components for use in the healthcare system. World Blood Donor Day was established in 2005 by the World Health Organization and is celebrated around the world on June 14, a day that marks the birth of Karl Landsteiner, the man who discovered blood types and co-discovered the Rh factor. World Blood Donor Day also provides an opportunity for individual nations to make governments and health authorities more aware about the need to strengthen the blood donation network.
In 2021, at the initiative of the Ministry of Health, the National Blood Center and the main Blood Donor Associations (Avis, Italian Red Cross, Fidas and Fratres), the WHO selected Italy to host the “World Blood Donor Day Global Event” in Rome on June 14 and 15, 2021.
The slogan of the event is “Give blood and keep the world beating” to emphasize how donors contribute to saving lives and improving the health of others. This year we want to pay special attention to younger generations and their leadership role. Young people can contribute to making a strong cultural change towards a greater awareness of the value of the gift and its gratuitousness, as it should be seen as an unselfish donation and as a commitment to the strong ideals of life related to it: solidarity, volunteering, the protection of health. Especially in such a particular moment for our community, championing this campaign for the benefit of our own and other people’s health goes hand in hand with the sense of responsibility with respect to topics related to wellbeing, such as fairness and the universality of care, community, social relations, trust, networking, altruism.
#HackDonor is a hackathon aimed at developing digital projects to encourage young people’s knowledge and “ownership” of the culture of giving.
Why:
#HackDonor2021 pursues a variety of objectives:
- increasing young people’s knowledge and awareness of the importance of the “gift”, so as to:
- foster the development of a sense of belonging and community, increase social cohesion, disseminate civic education and promote actions of solidarity and altruism
- learn to give, for it is a simple, free and spontaneous act that makes those who do it, but also those who receive it, happy
- enabling, through the use of digital technology, the knowledge and promotion of the culture of giving.
- turn awareness into intention and then into action, leveraging technology to reach ever-farther, from one point of the network to another
- actively participate in the dissemination of the healthy lifestyles needed to become a donor, with particular attention to the dissemination of correct information that can help increase the well-being of the population and improve the world in which we live
- activating young people as a driver for the involvement of different segments of the population distant from the culture of giving
- invite more young people – but not exclusively – to respond to the humanitarian call of giving and spread the message, encouraging others to do the same, thus disseminating the culture of giving among acquaintances and family relations
- inform citizens about the absolute safety of the gift and the benefits that this act can bring to themselves and to others, reassuring those who are still afraid that this act may cause damage to the giver and to the receiver
