🧠 World Stroke Day – Call for Volunteers! 💬

Hey everyone! 🙌

On October 29, 2025, The NeuroClub will be hosting an information booth at Bern train station (in the Christoffel Passage) for World Stroke Day, together with the Neurology Clinic of Inselspital and the Swiss Stroke Society. 🇨🇭

Our goal is to raise public awareness about stroke symptoms, risk factors, and prevention — in a fun, engaging way! 💡

We’re looking for enthusiastic NeuroClub members to help with:

💬 Talking to passers-by

🩺 Doing simple blood pressure measurements

🧩 Running a small quiz on stroke knowledge

📄 Handing out brochures and flyers

👉 Shifts are just 1.5 hours each (between 07:00 and 20:00) — so even if you can only join for a short time, that’s super helpful!

🗣️ Please note: the event will take place in German.

It’s a great opportunity to represent The NeuroClub, connect with people, and make a real impact on stroke awareness. 💪🧠

Interested? 💪 Join our WhatsApp group to sign up for a shift and get all the updates! 👇
