Security is a major component of the IFRC but must be understood in multiple ways. How do we combine the need for security with being open to the neighbourhood? How can we ensure that the relationship between the IFRC and the community is balanced? What other forms can security take for the IFRC?

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?

Topic - How can we integrate animal and plant species living right outside the HQ building into our conception of the IFRC Park? How do we start recognizing the ecosystem that we are part of? How do we create meaningful interactions with plants and animals locally and on a planetary scale?

The environment is the physical, ecological and civic context in which the IFRC HQ is located. The first workshop of the participatory process will deep dive into this topic with invited resource-people to gather insights from staff members and local inhabitants.
