WELCOME TO THE
IFRC PARK

The International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent societies (IFRC) based in Petit-Saconnex, Geneva, welcomes its fellow members and the neighborhood to collectively brainstorm and help transform its grounds into a shared space.

Such a space would connect its square park, terrace and urban forest and anchor the institution more firmly into the city’s civic horizon. This would be complemented by the carving of a pathway that connects the IFRC to the ICRC campus thus literally paving a public tribute to the historical presence of the Red Cross movement in Petit-Saconnex and Geneva.

The IFRC Park project is rooted in Geneva, the historical home of the Red Cross. At the same time, it must be a tribute to the national societies and volunteers which the IFRC federates around the world. How can the Park project reflect the universalism and unity of the Red Cross?
