NDYS2005 Natural Disaster Youth Summit 2005 in Hyogo in Japan on 25-28th of March.
Summary
Many issues of disaster prevention now need to be considered at a global
level. We offer programmes to develop global citizens who want a sustainable
future.This is a project in which children will learn the preciousness
of human lives and how to reduce disaster impacts such as earthquakes,
volcanic eruptions, wildfires, floods, hurricanes, landslides, tsunamis,
droughts and so on through the communication and collaboration with global
friends.
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, floods and wildfires 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.
Theme: Climate Change and Disaster Reduction , Mitigation, and Reconstruction
~ Abnormal weather : Solve the problem by global collaboration and Save
our lives! ~ 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 NDYS2023-2024, we would like to have NDYS presentation
day.
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.

2.“NDYS Teddy Bear Exchange and Kid’s Safety Bag” program
As a subsidiary program, the NDYS Teddy Bears (NDYS Little Ambassadors)
will be exchanged between partner schools to strengthen the friendly bond
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.
