YOUNG VISITORS PROGRAMME Discovery This visit lasts about an hour. It is based on a discussion with one of the Museum's guides and introduces the world of the Red Cross and humanitarian work in general, taking into account the visitors' specific knowledge and interests. Personal Research Interactive technology gives access to: - information on the International Red Cross Movement and humanitarian work in general, with links to some one hundred Internet sites; - our CD-rom – an entertaining and direct approach to seek answers to difficult questions such as: How can we overcome natural disasters and improve social conditions? How can we help victims of mines? Who protects prisoners? How do you reunite people who have been separated by war? - the latest news from the field. Films A dozen short documentary films made by young student film directors, as well as independent directors, provide a multicultural approach to humanitarian activites. For more information A set of documents on the history and the activities of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement is available in the Museum for teachers upon request. THE MUSEUM'S MESSAGE Always there to help victims The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum presents the history of the world's leading humanitarian organization, from its origins to the challenges it faces today. At present, the Red Cross and Red Crescent are providing aid to victims in 183 countries, regardless of their nationality, race, beliefs, social status or political opinions. Current events The Museum's portrayal of the dynamic action of men and women in their humanitarian work is a window on the daily intervention of the Red Cross and Red Crescent throughout the world. Humanitarian values Aware young people's difficulties in finding their place in today's world, the Museum helps them to discover the great humanitarian ideals and its visionary founder, Henry Dunant, initiator of International Humanitarian Law. Our heritage The Red Cross was born in Geneva more than 140 years ago and today its presence is worldwide. This heritage encourages solidarity and openness towards others. Everyone can contribute In the Museum, the interaction between victims, delegates and visitors does not reduce the latter to "spectators of suffering". They are encouraged to think and act: everyone can contribute, in his/her own way, to build a peaceful world where human dignity is respected by all.
