Young humanitarians

In the summer, we launched Raid Cross, a new activity game that helps young people understand how international humanitarian law can help save lives during a conflict. Across the UK, hundreds of schoolchildren got a chance to act out prisoner and soldier roles in an imaginary conflict, and learn valuable lessons about the moral difficulties of behaviour in war.Photo of two young people 1 © BRCS/ Jonathan Banks

We also directly engaged with young people on current, sensitive issues. In Scotland, for example, we ran a nationwide schools competition that encouraged secondary pupils to better understand the plight of refugees. One student said: “I found out many things I didn’t know – and a lot of it shocked me. It made me interested in this topic.”
