Get involved with the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction

We invite you to share your institution’s good practices in engaging children and youth on disaster resilience. These can include policies that embed children and youth in DRR education and decision making, educational materials, lesson plans, evacuation planning, games, competitions etc. We are also looking forward to receiving info/links to articles about the successful DRR events for youth and children you have organized in the past.

Partners are encouraged to publish and share success stories around the calls to action. Examples include:

• Publicizing national endorsements of the Comprehensive School Safety Framework.
• The retrofitting or construction of schools to be resilient to disasters.
• Insertion of disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation in school curricula.
• School-organized disaster evacuation drills.
• Creation of engaging learning materials and activities, such as cartoons, comics, competitions, songs or films, aimed at educating children about disaster risks.
• Teacher-led demonstrations of the UNDRR-created ‘Stop Disasters’ video game.

Participate in an event, promote one or join the conversation on empowering the next generation for a resilient future.
