Life Skills is a series of low-threshold workshops by the Netherlands Red Cross supporting migrants, asylum seekers, and undocumented people by providing them with practical skills, boosting their self-reliance, and creating a safe and open space to discuss challenges and concerns with peers. 

The 'Emergency Awareness' Workshops aims to strengthen people and community preparedness in crises and emergencies. The workshops are designed to align preparedness activities with crises that have a high likelihood and high societal impact: hazardous materials incidents, flooding, extreme weather, blackouts, epidemics and wildfires. The workshops use an interactive, small group serious game to introduce concrete preparedness actions. Participants jointly prepare a fictional persona for an upcoming crisis and later reflect on what these actions mean for their own situation.

Professional emergency services may, at times, be limited in their response capacity and are often forced to focus their efforts on providing only the most essential assistance. Ready2Help is especially beneficial when a large number of people are quickly needed to provide extra support. This includes physical assistance (e.g. filling sandbags, carrying goods), sheltering groups of people, relieving healthcare personnel or providing assistance by making resources available (e.g. places to sleep or means of transport).
