Effective Education for Disaster Risk Reduction - Learning Matters.
HIGHER EDUCATION FOR DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT
Hi All, I am new in edu4drr ...so sorry if my post sounds strange. Anyway, I am conducting a review of international practices in DRM/focus on higher education (e.g. Masters et al.). I would really welcome inputs or all sorts of suggestions on what is already out there on the topic. I navigated the preventionweb section on acandemic programs but I am lacking in-depth understanding and comparison about e.g. structural, pedagogical etc. features of the programs. Suggestions welcome!
