Youth On The Run

Step into the shoes of a refugee. Feel. Understand. Change.

Youth on the Run is not just a game — it’s a powerful 24-hour immersive experience organized by the Red Cross, inspired by a Scandinavian concept that brings the harsh reality of millions of refugees to life through an educational live action role-playing game (LARP).

As a participant, you take on the identity of someone forced to flee their home. You receive only basic information about who you are. What happens next is unknown — just like in real life. Along the way, you’ll encounter border guards, smugglers, aid workers, and civilians — all played by trained instructors who know the goals of the simulation inside out.

This isn’t about pretending. It’s about confronting the difficult truths behind migration and forced displacement. It's about building empathy through direct experience and challenging your perspective on global issues.

Youth on the Run isn’t easy. It’s not meant to be. It’s raw, emotional, and transformative. But for many, it becomes a turning point — a moment of awakening that inspires action, awareness, and solidarity.

Are you ready to face the unknown? Join Youth on the Run — and see the world through different eyes.
