Why should you get involved?
More and more of us are being pushed to take sides, making it harder to talk to people whose opinions we disagree with.
At the British Red Cross, we stand for neutrality and impartiality, and we want to share how what we’ve learned over 150 years of conflict diplomacy can be used in your day-to-day. In a world where tensions run high, knowing how to compassionately connect with others is essential to solving the problems we face together.
