We are all living in the age of crisis. This is not someone's problem, but the
problem of ourselves and all human.

Description
|
NDYS2005 Natural Disaster Youth Summit 2005 in Hyogo in Japan on 25-28th of March.
|
NDYS was first organized in Hyogo in May 2004 and started from September 2004, commemorating 10th year of great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake, Japan in 1995. We learned the importance of human lives and preparedness for disasters.
In recent years, it has been pointed out that extreme abnormal weather
caused by climate change may be linked to an increase in large-scale natural
disasters.Natural disasters such as heavy rain and floods are increasing
in many parts of the world, and they become major obstacles not only to
people’s lives, but also sustainable development. To take urgent action
to combat climate change and its impacts is an urgent global issue. As
the diseases such as COVID-19 spread all over the world, we need to modify
our past disaster prevention method to fit to the recent situation. It is important to share our ideas and learn
how survive.

Natural Disaster Youth Summit 2022
By
experiencing various disasters, different knowledge and information to reduce
their impact are accumulated in local communities. By sharing this knowledge
and information, we can prepare against future disasters and take actions to
combat climate change and its impacts. Let us maintain continuous efforts and
transfer these efforts to the next generation. Our ultimate goal is to enhance
awareness of the impact of natural disasters on families, schools and local
communities around the world through young people's actions. NDYS will build a
global disaster management education network utilizing Information and
Communications Technology (ICT). Let us communicate with each other and
contribute to the healthier and safer planet.
As the final event of the NDYS2022, we have decided to organize a hybrid meeting on June 23, Niigata city .
We would like to have presentations there.

| Programs
|
| NDYS has three programs. You can select one or more programs which fit
to your school curriculum. |
1. "Global Disaster Safety Map” program
Let's create global disaster safety map!
|
Students will create a Disaster Safety Map of their school’s
surrounding areas or your neighborhood. Students will do research on the
environment near their school and put this information in the map, including
where is safe, where is dangerous and places they love and are proud of.
Add your ideas of how to help disabled people
too. Send the photo of completed disaster safety map to ndys@jearn.jp.
You may put your map on the Gallery of iEARN Collaboration Center, too. Students will have discussion
on the zoom meeting.

at the NDYS conference. Each School can make Kid’s Safety Bag (Emergency
bag), too.

| 3. "Healing Power of Music from Trauma after Disaster" program |
|
|
As you
may know natural disasters leave behind long-lasting and severe trauma. Music
can have a beneficial effort in helping people recover from Natural
Disaster. It will be wonderful, if we can share such music. As we believe the healing power of music, NDYS has decided to collaborate with iEARN Taisho-koto project from 2015. We would like you to introduce the music of your country which heals people’s hearts and makes people happy and alive. It will be ideal if you can send us your video or upload it onto YouTube. We will practice and play music through videoconference once a month.

NDYS started the activities to solve the
problems of "sustainable development goals (SDGs)" target 11 &
13, which the United Nations newly targets to solve toward 2030. As a solution
to the SDGs, it is broadly expected to improve the public awareness and
enlightenment about the importance and necessity of international cooperation
of disaster reduction education from a global perspective.
Goal 11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts*
UN Sustainable Development Goals
Children and the youth will share their
knowledge and work as leaders of their communities. -They will help people in
trouble as global citizens.
They will learn how to save their lives
and make their environment safer. This project will directly contribute to the
quality of life of anyone who lives on this planet by sharing the information
of how to reduce damage by unexpected disasters and building the Disaster
Management Education Network utilizing ICT.
