Brief
one-sentence description of
project:
Let's create 'Global
Disaster Safety Map'
for the safer world and
future!
We will respect the life
of each human being.
Full
description of project:
This is a project in which
children will learn the
importance of human lives
and how to cope with the
physical and emotional effects of natural
disasters such as
Earthquakes,Volcanic
Eruptions, Wildfires, Floods,
Hurricanes, Landslides,
Tsunamis, Droughts and
soon.
In
1995, people in Hyogo,
Japan experienced the
Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake
and suffered much damage. We realize the fear of
natural disasters.
|
|
|
We
learned the importance of
human lives, the
importance of cooperation,
collaboration and
preparedness. By preparing for the
natural activities of the
earth, we can limit the extent of
human suffering. This is what we have
learned through NDYS 2005.
In this project, we
aim to empower children in
order to reduce the
consequences of natural
disasters.
Our
goal is to enhance awareness of
natural disasters families, schools and
communities around the world.
As an action to achieve this
goal, we will create 'Global
Disaster Safety Map'.

As
a subsidiary program, NDYS teddy
bears exchange as NDYS Little
Ambassadors
will be done to strengthen the
friendly bound among students.
Through this project, we expect
students to be NDYS Ambassadors
who tell people the importance
of preparedness and share their
knowledge of disaster
management.
Thus, contents of what students
learned at the youth summit will
be disseminated to the community
where students live.
Schools will be the center
of community education for
disaster management.
We also expect teachers and
civic volunteers to be NDYS
Guardians to support students
learning and activities.
NDYS will build networks for the
sharing of disaster prevention
through disaster
management education utilizing
Information and Communication
Technology (ICT).
