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.

| Description |
|
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 and floods are increasing in many parts of
the world, and they become major obstacles not only to
people痴 lives, but also sustainable development. To take
urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts is an
urgent global issue.

| This
year痴 theme: |
Climate
Change and 泥isaster Reduction , Mitigation, and
Reconstruction" in our town |
|
~
Abnormal weather : Solve the problem by global
collaboration! ~ |
|
|
| Slogan: |
Communication
saves lives! |
|
|
| Our
goal: |
Build
the safer place to live in for everyone in this planet |
|
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
planet.
|
| Programs |
| NDYS has several programs.
You can select one or more programs which fit to your
school curriculum. |
|
|
1) 'Global Disaster Safety Map'program
Students
will create a Disaster Safety Map of their
school痴 surrounding areas. Students will
conduct research on the environment near their school and
put this information in the map, including both
safe dangerous zones, as well as placed they love
and are proud of communities.
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 through
Video-conferencing and on the iEARN forum of NDYS.

2) 'NDYS Teddy Bear Exchange and Kid痴 Safety Bag' program
the NDYS Teddy Bears (NDYS Little
Ambassadors) will be exchanged between partner schools
to strengthen the friendly bond at the NDYS conference.
The schools accepted the bear will inform what
activities the bear did in their school by photo and
students diary. Each School can make Kid痴 Safety Bag
(Emergency bag), too.

| 3)
Discussion on the iEARN
NDYS forum |
|
Theme: 'Let's share our lessons learned from the past natural disasters'
Students who want to tell their experiences, lessons or
suggestions learned from the past natural disasters can
put messages on the NDYS forum.
|
|
| 4)
'Healing Power of Music from Trauma after Disasters' 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痴 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. We would like you
to play the music at the NDYS gathering in Niigata,
Japan.
|
| 5)
NDYS2018 Gathering in
Niigata, Japan |
As the final event of
the project, we will get together in Niigata,
Japan. We would like to have a workshop and
presentations there. We plan to host a
gathering in 2018 in Japan. This will be a
collaborative gathering with iEARN Taisho Koto
project, Kotolympic. We will make an exhibition of
maps and oral presentations. Through this program,
students will grow as global citizens who take
actions and share their knowledge of disaster
management with local people.
We expect students to be NDYS Ambassadors to let
people understand the importance of preparedness
for the potential disasters. Their schools will be
the center of community education for disaster
management. We welcome teachers and civic
volunteers to support students' learning and
activities.
NDYS welcome the original activities done at your
school or community. If you have any original
activities, please introduce them on the iEARN
NDYS discussion forum. |
