 ”Communication saves lives!”               

 
1.Name of Project:

Natural Disaster Youth Summit 2014

  view a NDYS2014 Description

KOBE Fukiai High School introduced NDYS project and asked some members to make presentations through VC at the iEARN conference in Argentine on July 1, 2014.

 

2. Brief one-sentence description of project: 

This is a project in which children will learn the importance of human lives and how to cope with natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, wildfires, floods, hurricanes, landslides, tsunamis, droughts and so on through the communication and collaboration with global friends. Children can make a difference in the world. 

This year’s theme: Climate Change and Disaster Reduction

Slogan: Communication saves lives! 

Our goal : Build the safer place to live in for everyone in this planet  


3. Full description of project:

NDYS was first organized in Hyogo in May 2004 and started from September 2004, commemorating 10th year of great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake, Japan . We learned the importance of human lives and preparedness for disasters. Now, due to the Climate Change, the ravages from disasters become greater than before.

By experiencing the various disasters, different knowledge and information to reduce the impact of disasters are accumulated in local communities. By sharing those knowledge and information, we can prepare against future disasters and take actions to stop the climate change which is one of the causes of greater disasters. Let us keep continuous efforts and transfer the efforts to the next generation. Our ultimate goal is to enhance awareness of natural disasters to 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 each other and contribute to the healthier planet.

Programs

NDYS has four programs. However, you need not to do all programs. You can select one or more programs.

1) “Global Disaster Safety Map” program

Students will create a Disaster Safety Map of their school’s surrounding areas. Students research on their environment near their school and put information in the map such as where is safe, where is dangerous and where they love and be proud of. Send the photo of completed disaster safety map to ndys@jearn.jp. The map will be uploaded to ‘CoSMOS’ (Collaborative Safety Maps on Open System) for presentation and further discussion. You may put your map on the Gallery of iEARN Collaboration Center , too. Students will have discussion through Video-conferencing and on the iEARN forum

2) NDYS Teddy Bear Exchange and Kid’s Safety Bag 

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) Discussion on the iEARN NDYS forum 

Theme: 'My experience of a natural disaster' 

Students who want to tell their experiences of natural disasters can put your message on the NDYS forum. 

As the final event of the project, we will have a video conference. Through this program, students will grow as global citizens who take actions and share their knowledge of disaster management to local people. We expect students to be NDYS Ambassadors to let people understand the importance of preparedness for the next risk. Their schools will be the center of community education for disaster management. We welcome teachers and civic volunteers to support students' learning and activities.
