Visite thématique “Qui était Henry Dunant ?” et découverte de la collection au Musée international de la Croix-Rouge et du Croissant-Rouge

À destination des Secondaires II

Qui était Henry Dunant et pourquoi son engagement a-t-il marqué l’histoire de l’humanitaire ?

Cette visite pédagogique invite les participant·e·s à découvrir la figure fondatrice de la Croix-Rouge à travers un parcours immersif au cœur du Musée international de la Croix-Rouge et du Croissant-Rouge.

À partir de documents, d’objets et de dispositifs interactifs, les élèves exploreront le contexte historique dans lequel Henry Dunant a vécu, les événements qui ont conduit à la création du Comité international de la Croix-Rouge, ainsi que les principes à l’origine des Conventions de Genève. La visite encourage la réflexion sur les valeurs humanitaires, l’engagement individuel et la notion de droit international humanitaire.

En prolongement de la visite, un moment privilégié est proposé pour présenter des objets personnels et inédits ayant appartenu à Henry Dunant, exceptionnellement dévoilés aux groupes pédagogiques. Cette approche concrète permet de relier l’histoire à des sources matérielles et de mieux comprendre la dimension humaine de son parcours.

Après votre inscription, merci d’envoyer un message de rappel en mentionnant le nom de votre établissement à l’adresse suivante : visit@redcrossmuseum.ch.

As part of the redesign of its permanent exhibition, the Museum is launching a project to personalise postcards, inviting the public to get involved in the thinking process.

Twice a month on Wednesdays, take part in a creative and expressive workshop open to everyone aged 3 and over. You’ll start with a tour of Angélica Serech’s temporary exhibition, Pach’un Q’ijul, where you’ll discover the artist’s work and reflect on humanitarian action. You will then be able to express yourself freely by answering the Museum’s core question: How does humanitarian action concern us all, here and now? Text, drawing, collage, all forms of expression are welcome. The postcards created will then be exhibited at the Museum and will contribute to the design of the future exhibition.

The purchase of one or more solidarity tickets promotes access to culture through a social gesture, from one person to another.

Solidarity tickets are collected by the Museum and given to the Geneva Red Cross or another local partner active in the field of social responsibility, who will redistribute them to their beneficiaries.

Named after the founder of the Red Cross & Red Crescent movement, the Salle Henry Dunant is particularly suited to meetings, conferences and film screenings.
 
During normal Museum opening hours, the room can be rented on an hourly basis. The earliest entrance to the Museum is at 10am and visitors are required to leave at normal Museum closing time.
To make a reservation, please fill out your requirements on this page. A credit card is necessary for the payment.
