EU Children of Peace 2014 - coming soon in September!

On World Humanitarian Day, we launched our first Google Hangout, speaking from humanitarians around the globe what it's like to be a humanitarian today and why they are driven to help.

We're less than a week away from World Humanitarian Day and you still have time to post your messages how you honour humanitarians - over 450 were killed, kidnapped or injured last year while trying to help others!

If you want to ask questions about World Humanitarian Day, join us for a Twitter chat at 3PM - 4PM CET or hear from humanitarians who have been in crises themselves at 4:30PM in a Google Hangout.

What is driving people to be humanitarians today?

Humanitarian life can be very risky but also incredibly rewarding. If you haven't seen our blog series yet for World Humanitarian Day - Humanitarians at Risk - head over to our blogs and check it out!

We've also asked our partners why they're humanitarians on Vine and we're asking you to send your messages thanking humanitarians for their efforts on Twitter with the hashtag #ihonour.

Can you imagine fleeing your home?

The number of children displaced is the equivalent to 5 times the number of children born in 24 EU countries in 2012. An extremely alarming figure!
