Cultural events on social themes

The organization of cultural and informative meetings is now a consolidated feature of CSLI, which gives great importance to the training and information of citizens. In the first four months of this year the Italian Corps of Saint Lazarus organized two public meetings at the “Benedetto Croce ” public library, the first in January and the second in April.

In January there was a seminar on “Sexuality and surroundings”, in which particular emphasis was given, in a problematic way, to the relationship between disability and sexuality, a theme of growing interest but often neglected, despite the high number of citizens with disabilities present in Europe (according to some studies they are about 16% of the European population).

The protection and enhancement of disabled people requires that this theme be approached in a sensitively and appropriately manner. The second meeting, in April, concerned the “Prevention and protection of health in the field of civil protection“, an aspect sometimes considered secondary compared to the most spectacular actions of relief and intervention, but fundamental for the well-being of the communities.

In fact, from the summer heat waves to epidemic situations, from the potential health effects of industrial accidents to emergency support, the link between civil protection and community health is very tight, both in terms of information and prevention and that of interventions in crisis situations. All these aspects were discussed during the meeting.
