This year, the XX Meeting of Volunteers in the Oncological Field is under the motto “20 years together” and will include, as is traditional, talks and workshops for all volunteers and volunteers from the organizations, surprises and a lunch for the attendees. The aim of the volunteer meeting is, as in every edition, to create a space to strengthen the bond of oncology volunteering and to recognize their valuable and essential solidarity work to improve the quality of life of people with cancer and those their relatives and caregivers.
In these 20 years that the FECEC TJunts contra el Càncer has been holding the meeting, more than 200 people have gathered each year to share their experiences and solidarity. The Volunteer Meeting has been held uninterruptedly, even in the two years where the pandemic did not allow the meeting to be in person.
The meeting will be held on Saturday, May 25, from 9:45 a.m. at Campus de la Ciutadella of the Pompeu Fabra University of Barcelona (25-27 Ramon Trias Fargas street Barcelona)
