The “Bazar of the Red Cross” is an opportunity for young and old to have a good time, while doing a good deed. More than a hundred volunteers will be busy offering the best to visitors: handicrafts, design and vintage objects (jewellery, small furniture, household items, children’s toys, etc.), delicacies to be enjoyed on the spot or to take away (salmon, cheese, homemade jams and sweets, and food-village, etc.), not forgetting, of course, many second-hand clothes, all at reduced prices. Saint Nicolas, the “Kleeschen”, will also be present on Sunday the 20th of November at 3pm!
In favour of youth
When you come to the temporary marquee of the Glacis, which last week hosted the Luxembourg Art Week, you are supporting the Red Cross’ work for young people. In the Grand Duchy but also throughout the world. The event, organised by the local section of Luxembourg City, is taking place under the High Patronage of H.R.H. the Grand Duchess, President of the Luxembourg Red Cross.
The aim of the aid will be to provide social and psychological support for children, to help them succeed at school and to promote the independence of young people. They may, for example, contribute to the financing of specific studies or training courses or cover the costs of sports or extracurricular activities.
Meet the teams
In addition to the fun activities, visitors will be able to meet several teams and the youth of the Luxembourg Red Cross. All of them, in their respective fields, help and accompany young people in order to enable them to overcome the difficulties they encounter. Through several animations and exhibitions, it will be possible to understand the numerous activities proposed and their method of intervention.
Conference & Escape Game
A conference “Against gender-based violence” and an Escape Game “In the footsteps of a humanitarian” will be organised by International Aid. Through this simulation of a humanitarian deployment in wartime, participants in the Escape Game will be able to discover numerous concepts of international humanitarian law.
