APPLICABLE METHODS IN TEACHING EARTHQUAKES TO PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

Hi All I have been working on a project on the assessment of various methods for teaching disasters to kindergarten children since March 2010. There is a section in the project that aims to introduce methods/tools that are used in different countries for teaching disasters (such as earthquakes, floods, volcanoes, etc) to preschool children. In this regard, I was wondering if any of the website members can share the experiences they have in their own countries. Of coures, all the relevant…See More

I am not going as it is too expensive and despite being in Geneva at the moment - I am staying with Marla! But I think you suggestion is an excellent one and I will put an announcement on the home page in one form or other. By the way, have you taken the lightning quiz on the front page? If you haven't I would appreciate it if you took it as I am collecting data on what people know. You are not identified to me or anyone else in anyway and it is quiet good fun! If you can't appear to read parts of any questions, then roll your mouse over the question and it reveals it in its entirety!

Thanks for you support and kind words,

justin

Hi Justin

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

Yasamin Izadkhah
Assistant Professor,

Which countries visit Edu4DRR most?

Posted by Justin Sharpe on March 26, 2012 at 5:57pm 0 Comments

As a geographer I was intrigued as to where our visitors and users of Edu4DRR come from, so I made this list! With flags too! Do we need groups for the more popular countries? What do you think?

Children of the Tsunami

Posted by Briony Towers on March 13, 2012 at 3:42am 0 Comments

This beautifully made documentary investigates children's experiences of the Japanese tsunami and nuclear disaster. It will be of real interest to anyone who works in the field of child-centred disaster risk reduction. The children articulate their experiences with great insight and in doing so, they further challenge the notion that children are passive victims of disaster who must rely on adults to speak for them. Of particular interest, is the children's desire to take what they have…

Posted by Justin Sharpe on January 24, 2012 at 9:42am 0 Comments

The following news story has come from NHK, the Japanese TV station which broadcasts via satellite in English, but is an important step and a warning about the dangers of ignoring safety messages!

The education board in Ishinomaki City, northeastern Japan has admitted responsibility and apologized for the large number of deaths among students at the Okawa Elementary School in last year's tsunami.



70 of the school's 108 students were killed in the March 11th…
