Stop Ebola “Escape Room”

The ‘Stop Ebola’ escape room, developed by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), is an immersive awareness-raising tool. The escape room takes the form of a tent so that it can be easily moved and set up for the general public. Participation is free and open to all age groups (aged 10 and over). The tent is set up like an MSF staff changing room and allows participants to immerse themselves in the daily life of a medical team working in the midst of an Ebola crisis – a highly infectious and extremely dangerous disease.

Working in teams of 2 to 8 people, you’ll be working for MSF on a mission during an Ebola outbreak. Will you manage to open all the lockers in time and put on your personal protective equipment before you begin your work?

This protective equipment is of paramount importance in safeguarding healthcare and support staff responding to an epidemic or pandemic. It is used in particular in high-risk areas – areas where confirmed Ebola patients are being treated and where it is easy to become infected with the virus.

Our aim is to use the Escape Room to raise awareness, either at our offices in Luxembourg City or in schools. This activity is offered as a complement to a presentation on MSF’s humanitarian projects and the contexts in which it operates, particularly in relation to epidemics such as Ebola. The aim of the Escape Room is to help pupils understand emergency situations and learn more about epidemics. Through hands-on experience, they learn about all the safety and hygiene measures required when treating highly contagious diseases, as well as the importance of communication, teamwork and coordination.

Let’s talk about sex!

Sexuality is a natural part of life and raises many questions, particularly during adolescence. This workshop offers an open and supportive space to share experiences, question one’s perceptions and gain reliable information about sexuality and relationships.

Through discussions and interactive activities, young people will be able to explore various topics such as the body and the changes associated with puberty, emotions and relationships, attraction, consent, personal boundaries, different sexual orientations and gender identities, contraception, STIs, pornography and first sexual experiences. These topics are explored in varying degrees of depth, depending on the questions and needs of the class!

The aim is to enable young people to develop their independence, critical thinking and ability to make informed choices, whilst fostering relationships based on respect for themselves and others.
