Singapore Red Cross Crosses Borders in Partnership to Conduct 3-Day Media Training, Strengthening Sri Lanka Red Cross’ Emergency Response Communication through Photography, Videography, and Drone Technology

Posted on Wednesday, April 9th, 2025

In a remarkable collaboration, the Singapore Red Cross conducted a comprehensive 3-day media training workshop, aimed at enhancing the communication capacity of the Sri Lanka Red Cross Society (SLRCS). The expert-led training focused on three key areas of emergency response documentation — photography, videography, and drone operation  equipping staff and volunteers with vital skills to capture and communicate humanitarian efforts more effectively.

Hosted by the Sri Lanka Red Cross Society – Colombo Branch, the workshop brought together 35 participants from across the country who actively contribute to emergency and disaster response. This initiative marks a significant step forward in amplifying the voices of affected communities, ensuring their stories are heard.

We extend heartfelt appreciation to the Singapore Red Cross for their support and willingness to share their knowledge and experience.
