This initiative is part of the celebrations for the Institute\u2019s 20th anniversary. It was already held in Reus last October and was very well received, with more than 500 people taking part in the activities. Now, IISPV brings the event to Tarragona, specifically to Pla\u00e7a Corsini and the Mercat Central. Activities will include an escape room about the Institute, non-invasive medical tests, CPR workshops with mannequins, and a demonstration of how an ambulance works. All activities are free, but participants must register in advance on the IISPV website to join the escape room.<\/p>\n<p>The event is organized in collaboration with the Tarragona City Council, Tarragona Markets, and the Servei d\u2019Emerg\u00e8ncies M\u00e8diques (SEM) of the Generalitat.
