During the event, young researchers will present reports and multimedia presentations of projects on the topics "History of International Humanitarian Law," "International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights," "Humanitarian Act: Essence and Significance," "My Treasury of Good Deeds," "Protection of Cultural Values during Armed Conflicts," and other areas of the readings' themes.
