Humanitarianism and the Red Cross

These Citizenship and History activities support young people (aged 14 to 19) to learn about the formation of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. With discussion activities, a written exercise and a short film, learners look at the principles underpinning the humanitarian work of the Movement and see real-life examples of humanitarianism in action.

Learners will:

• understand the history and fundamental principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement
• explore the importance of humanity in the work of the Red Cross
• consider how to take humanitarian actions in their own lives and contribute to improving their own communities.
