| Friday, 23 June 2017

The 2017 Campus will go far beyond basketball and, in parallel with the daily operation, a series of activities are scheduled. One of them is a talk by Òscar Camps, founder and director of  Proactiva Open Arms, on the evening of Monday 3 July. In it, he will explain the history and operation of this Badalona NGO whose main mission is to rescue from the sea refugees who arrive in Europe fleeing war conflicts, persecution or poverty. Videos will be shown to publicize the work they are doing and which people they are rescuing. Mainly in the Central Mediterranean and Lesvos (Greece).

The intention of Proactiva Open Arms is to raise awareness of this reality and push everyone to fight as a team and not be conformists to prevent a similar situation from reoccurring in the future. This talk will be the starting point of the relationship with the Escola Básquet Girona Marc Gasol, which should have more collaboration links soon
