DRK Parents' Campus

Virtual live courses for you & your child

The German Red Cross (DRK) online course offering for young parents not only imparts knowledge, but also provides a forum for asking questions of our certified course instructors.

The German Red Cross (DRK) offers a variety of course programs, such as ElBa®, SpieKo & Co., to support families.

Due to the current risk of infection, many courses are suspended until the end of the year. To support parents and families during this challenging time, we have launched the German Red Cross Parent Campus.

With our online course offerings, which can be booked digitally and completed virtually, we are creating a new option for families. Our courses have been specifically optimized for virtual delivery by experienced instructors in collaboration with digitalization experts.

In this way, we want to ensure that we convey the knowledge of our course instructors to parents in the best possible way and also create a space for questions and the exchange of experiences, concerns and uncertainties.

The German Red Cross (DRK) Parent Campus is starting as a prototype and will be continuously expanded with new features and functionalities. Following the design thinking approach, we have made a version of the platform available in a timely manner, which will be further optimized based on user feedback. If you have any suggestions for improvement or general feedback, we would be happy to hear from you.
