Advancing Disaster Preparedness Through Interactive Learning

On 19 June, DEPO conducted a one-day earthquake preparedness training for staff members of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) at the JICA Office in Lazimpat. The training introduced practical and low-cost disaster education tools to strengthen participants' understanding of earthquake risks and preparedness measures.

The session included board games, card games, interactive exercises, and disaster drills focused on practical disaster preparedness. The activities demonstrated participatory approaches to disaster education and provided participants with opportunities to engage directly with the learning tools.

The training formed part of JICA's Hello Kitty Hand Wash Program, through which DEPO Nepal jointly facilitates DRR education activities in schools alongside JICA. The session also contributed to the ongoing collaboration between DEPO and JICA on school-based DRR education.
