About us
The humanitarian trail was created for the 33rd International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent which took place in Geneva from 4 to 12 December 2019.
The project was initiated by Philippe Stoll, communication manager at the International Committee of the Red Cross and the International Conference’s project team.
Today, it continues as the humanitarian trail of the Red Cross, thanks to the project designers and coordinators, Catherine Hubert Girod and Céline Saugy.
Having worked for many years at the ICRC, and being attached to the city of Geneva, Catherine and Céline remain passionate and committed to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and its unique story which began is their city.
This new edition is produced with the valuable participation of Roger Durand, historian, and president of the Société Henry Dunant. With enthusiasm, Roger brings his knowledge as well as fresh insights to the story of the Red Cross in Geneva.
The work and time put into making this project sustainable was done entirely on a voluntary basis, in true Red Cross and Red Crescent spirit.
