More Info: The British Red Cross helps people in crisis, whoever and wherever they are. It is part of a global voluntary network, responding to conflicts, natural disasters and individual emergencies.The website of the British Red Cross contains a range of resources for educators interested in introducing students to humanitarian issues. Humanitarian education is a way of learning about and understanding the world – best thought of as a form of citizenship education. It is not religious or political, but is centrally concerned with the concept of shared humanity. At the core of humanitarian action and thinking is a desire to contribute to saving lives and reducing suffering. Humanitarian education invites exploration of those actions and thoughts. It helps students examine what motivates people, including themselves, and extends to other societies, times and cultures. It explores the wider issues, sometimes surprisingly complex, that arise when people help each other.
