In January 2005, 10 years from the Great Hanshin-Awaji
Earthquake, the United Nations World Conference on Disaster
Reduction was held in Kobe.
On this occasion, the project ‘Natural Disaster Youth Summit’
was launched by communicating with 1,000 children from 15
countries. It
aimed to host "Natural Disaster Youth Summit 2005 in Hyogo"
for handing down the lessons from the disaster and the
importance of human lives.
In the conference, the children created a declaration
statement of
"Try to feel, try to learn, try to share" and made the
foundation of the global disaster prevention education network
In the 21 century, classrooms in the world are connected
and children can learn
the lessons
of
the past disasters in the world. They share the wisdom of
disaster prevention of
various countries and regions.
The
lessons are learned to protect life and
to
work to reduce disaster risk.
As the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred, the importance of
disaster prevention and mitigation of the region has been
reviewed again.
In March 2015, the United Nations World Conference on
Disaster Reduction
was
held in Sendai.
In the conference, it was recognized that a
better reconstruction is important in the recovery process.
The NDYS2016
conference will have an opportunity to present the results the
final phase of the NDYS2016 project under the theme of
“Climate change and Disaster Reduction, Mitigation and
Reconstruction of our town” through global collaborative
Active-learning utilizing ICT (Information and Communication
Technology) in Niigata.
In addition to these activities, we have been working with the
iEARN Taisho Koto group on a project dealing with the power of
music on the disaster recovery process.
This work will be presented at "Kotolympic 2016 in
Niigata," which is participating in The 64th Niigata City
Performing Arts Festival.
The purpose of this conference is to let the children of
Niigata present what they have learned through disaster
reduction education and for NDYS school children to present
their research about disasters in their home countries and
introduce their disaster safety maps.
This will give them a chance to recognize what they
have learned through making disaster safety maps and
researching their local area.
In addition, they will think of some of the abnormal weather
models that are happening because of climate change, then they
will explores the resolution for the abnormal weather and
climate change by discussing what they can do.
Also, children will suggest some ideas for healing the
emotional damage of natural disasters through experiencing
music exchange with Taisho Koto lovers, which makes the
children understand the importance of caring.
The participants will notice the difference of each culture
through their communication, presentation and Disaster Safety
Maps during the 6 days conference. They will deepen their
understanding by hearing the different point of views and
experiencing different cultures.
On August 7, at the Niigata City Ryutopia Concert Hall,
children will adopt the NDYS declaration and announce to the
world, the importance of recognizing the differences of
generations and cultures.
The conference aims to foster children to be aware of disaster
reduction and to be a global citizen who can act spontaneously
and survive in the rapidly changing society.
