The Red Cross
The history of the organization
The International red Cross fights war and starvation around the world. Bit how did it
start?
The idea of the Red Cross began on 24 June, 1859. At that time the French and Austrian
armies were fighting in Solferino – a town in the north of Italy. After 16 hours of
fighting, 4,000 soldiers lay dead or dying on the battlefield. Henry Dunant, a Swiss
businessman who was visiting Solferino at that time was horrified by the suffering of
these soldiers. He decided to help and immediately organized aid for the wounded –
assisted by the people from nearby villages.
Who started the Red Cross? Which armies fought in the battle of Solferino?
After returning to Switzerland, Dunant organized a worldwide network of aid societies with
the help of his international business contacts, and so the international Committee fro
relief to the Wounded was set up.
What did the Swiss businessman do after the battle? How did he organize his aid
network?
In 1863, the Swiss flag – a white cross on a red background – was adopted (with the
colours reversed) as the symbol of the organization – a red cross on a white background.
As a result people started to call the organization the Red Cross.
When did the red cross become the symbol of the organization?
In the Eastern War of 1876, which took place in the Balkans, Turkey decided to use a red
crescent on a white background in the place of a red cross, in order not to offend Muslim
soldiers. Today there are Red Cross and Red Crescent organizations in 165 countries around
the world. (The red crescent is the symbol of the organization in twenty-five Muslim
countries).
When was the red crescent symbol first started? In how many countries is the
organization represented by the Red Crescent?
In 2005, a new emblem was adopted by an amendment of the Geneva Conventions known as
Protocol III. The new emblem was designed to be easily recognizable and, to make it more
universally acceptable throughout different cultures, devoid of religious connotation. (It
is known as the Red Crystal).
Why was a new emblem represented? What is it?
Teacher: Let’s sum up all you know about the Organization. Will you answer some questions: (вопросы записаны на доске)
– How old is the Red Cross?
– What does it do?
– Why is the crescent used?
– Who started to use it?
– Who started the organization?
Teacher: I’d like you to know who needs the Red Cross now. Let’s read a small article [2].
(Учащиеся читают информацию, отвечают на поставленный вопрос, подводят итог всему сказанному).
Who needs the Red Cross?
Ask most people to list the number of current trouble spots in the world and you will
get an underestimate. Every year millions of people experience the horrors of war, famine,
earthquakes or floods. They are forced to leave their homes and to face insecurity of
living as refugees.
So what exactly does the Red Cross do to help?
- It provides camps and food centers for people who are displaced and undernourished because of wars or natural disasters.
- It locates and reunites refugee children with their families.
- It keeps the world informed about what is happening in various conflicts.
- It stays impartial – never taking sides of becoming involved in the politics of war.
What is your opinion of the Red Cross organization?
