About us
On 22-31 October 2024, the Statutory Meetings and the 34th International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent is taking place in Geneva to discuss global humanitarian challenges and issues, and to decide on priorities for action in favour of people affected by armed conflict, disasters, and other situations of emergency.
The Humanitarian Trail will once again be offered to the participants and delegates so that they can discover the story of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement while immersing themselves in the city. Two walking trails can be followed, one in the Old Town and another in the international district. This year, guided walking tours and a new digital map are proposed to take you on both trails.

The project was created for the 33rd International Conference on 4-12 December 2019 and consisted of a brochure, a digital map and guided walking tours to follow two trails, one in the Old Town and another in the international district where there were several thematic installations.
In 2020, the Humanitarian Trail was revised for the general public with a new brochure and digital map in English, French, Spanish and German.
