Marcel Štefánik, the highest-ranked Slovak at the Red Cross and Global Coordinator for Youth Engagement, emphasizes the importance of involving young people in decision-making, especially in humanitarian efforts. The article recounts his experience in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, where he observed young volunteers aiding in the refugee crisis caused by ethnic violence in Myanmar. Over 600,000 Rohingya Muslims sought refuge in the Kutupalong camp, and despite the challenging conditions, local youth played a crucial role in maintaining order and distributing aid. Štefánik's mission was to understand how these young volunteers contributed to the relief efforts, and he found that respecting local customs and traditions was key to the mission's success.

Parkrun, a global initiative offering free, weekly 5 km runs, is set to launch in Groningen, Netherlands. The event emphasizes sustainability, well-being, and community, with no entry fee or time limits. Participants can run or walk at their own pace, and the event is volunteer-supported to ensure inclusivity. The Stadspark was chosen for its natural beauty and bike-free paths. Event director Rhys Williams, inspired by his mother's positive experience with Parkrun in Britain, aims to foster community spirit and encourage physical activity. Plans are underway to expand Parkrun to other areas in the north, with support from local networks. The event is scheduled to begin in late February 2020.
