In Switzerland, the the Geneva Red Cross youth section, the International Federation and young HIV positive people have joined to present a full days worth of activities for 8 May.

In the morning, the Young Positive Group (a network of young people living with HIV based in Amsterdam) ran a workshop on stigma and discrimination for 60 youth delegates from a one week youth meeting of 13 National Societies of central Europe.

In the afternoon, a public activity took place in a central city square, Place du Molard. There was a performance of "live stamps" where young people performing the actions of the "You cannot get AIDS by..." campaign within large stamp frames. In addition a graffiti wall was decorated by a young graffiti artist. Red Cross staff and volunteers and the general public could also leave anti-stigma messages on the wall.

Throughout the day, young volunteers from the Geneva Red Cross were also "stamping" people in the street — helping to pass the anti-stigma messages as wide as possible.
