The Finnish Red Cross focuses on helping ordinary people in Finland in a variety of difficult situations. This includes providing aid and disaster relief, as well as training volunteers for friendship programs, first aid, and emergency preparedness. We also participate in many festivals and other events by providing first aid points.<\/p>\n<p>Supporting youth and the elderly is also a core part of our mission. This activity is partially funded by the revenue generated from SPR Reshop. Supporting the principles of the circular economy is a central aspect of SPR Reshop\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n<p>We are delighted to take part in the Global X-Culture Symposium 2025 and to present displays highlighting Finnish culture. These displays offer an opportunity to learn more about history, culture, different eras, and styles. Today\u2019s world of fashion and design embraces a mix of styles from different periods. In both clothing and home decor, items from all eras are in demand and have their own admirers. One person\u2019s unwanted item can be another person\u2019s treasure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Event Dates: August 3 &#8211; 9, 2025 Tentative program: Sunday, August 3: 12:00-17:00 Check In and Register 17:00-20:00 Welcome reception in the City Hall of Vaasa* *Cultural program is partly sponsored by SPR ReShop, read more below Monday, August 4: 9:00-12:00 Formal Welcome and Orientation with Campus Tour 13:30-17:00 Meet the Challenge Companies (Breakout) Tuesday, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":556,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-16","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.uwasa.fi\/xculturesymposium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.uwasa.fi\/xculturesymposium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.uwasa.fi\/xculturesymposium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.uwasa.fi\/xculturesymposium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/556"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.uwasa.fi\/xculturesymposium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/sites.uwasa.fi\/xculturesymposium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":133,"href":"https:\/\/sites.uwasa.fi\/xculturesymposium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/16\/revisions\/133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.uwasa.fi\/xculturesymposium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
