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.

 

The logo expresses the idea of “Global Vision Future Hope

Origin of the Logo

 

 

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'.

Lesson for future! ”

How to make a 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).

Video Conference:  We use  Meeting Plaza( VC system) offered by Hyogo Board of Education.
