Hey Yasamin,
I hope you are good. I have been updating the website here with lots of new resources, material and even a newspaper ( I would appreciate it if you could be a subscriber (there is no cost...honest!) I would like to talk to you about what you have been working on in terms of DRR in Iran. Please let me know via e-mail, as it might be something I could investigate further as part of my PhD research as I wanted to look at the impact of social learning and how this does or doesn't translate into the family. Let me know if you think it is practical etc.
Kind Regards
Jutsin

Thanks for all your efforts and never ending enthusiasm on drr issues.
I was wondering if you or any of the Edu4drr network members will participate in the IDRC Conference next week in Davos, Switzerland. It would be wonderful if we can organise a meeting with those members who will attend IDRC to share our experience and knowledge. I have got two oral presentations on Monday afternoon and Thursday morning.
Cheers
