The British Red Cross’ contribution to the project – entitled The Power of Humanity – comprises a series of eight downloadable resources that teach important lessons in a fun and interesting way. Topics covered include first aid skills, responding to emergencies and humanitarian citizenship.
Power of humanity
Mairi Allan, head of schools and community education, said: "We want to mobilise the power of young people to be humanitarian citizens wherever they are – and the Girl Guides share our vision.
“Our programme will enable Guides to learn more about emergencies, both in the UK and overseas, and develop the skills to cope and help others in crisis."
