This event will be an opportunity for people of all ages to discover the daily life of the Luxembourg Red Cross as a humanitarian actor through various activities.

The programme includes the new escape room of the Luxembourg Red Cross, which allows visitors to discover the law in times of conflict in an entertaining way, exchanges with humanitarian and social workers, photo exhibitions, quizzes, live music and a conference called "Le droit humanitaire: un garant pour l’humanité" (humanitarian law: a guarantor for humanity).

"We are honored that Neumünster Abbey is making the space of the Agora [open space] available to the Red Cross during these two humanitarian days.
