Strengthening School Disaster Preparedness Through Teacher Capacity Building

In April 2026, a four-day Training of Trainers (ToT) on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Education was conducted in Tansen Municipality, Palpa, bringing together teachers from 31 schools. The training focused on strengthening teachers' capacity to deliver classroom-based disaster education.

Teachers developed practical skills for integrating localized DRR education into classroom learning through interactive educational game materials. As master trainers, participants are expected to transfer their knowledge to students in their respective schools as part of efforts to establish School-Based Disaster Risk Reduction Resource Centers.

The initiative is part of an ongoing partnership with Tansen Municipality and is implemented in collaboration with CityNet, Plus Arts Center for Creative Partnership in Kobe, Japan, and DEPO Nepal. The program focuses on building teacher capacity to extend disaster education across participating schools.
