Together with Friends
To facilitate more meaningful and innovative support activities for children with cancer, the Children’s Cancer Network encourages pupils and students to contribute ideas and efforts, all aimed at benefiting children with cancer.
The “Together with Friends” project connects with organizations and experts in education, psychology, and sociology to introduce and guide pupils and students in understanding and implementing small-scale social projects. The social goals that the Children’s Cancer Network aims for are to connect the community, especially young people, to collectively address the difficulties faced by children with cancer, helping to expand and further develop the network supporting young cancer patients.
