In 2024, eight school teachers from Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur, Chandragiri, and Shankharapur participated in Disaster Education Visit Group II to Kobe and Yokohama, Japan. The visit provided opportunities to explore Japan’s approaches to disaster risk reduction and education.
The teachers visited DRR Learning Centers in both cities, where they experienced earthquake simulations and learned about tsunami response systems, infrastructure, technology, and disaster education. They also visited schools in Kobe and Yokohama and observed approaches emphasizing teamwork, empathy, social responsibility, resilience, creativity, and critical thinking.
The visit involved teachers from Nepal and institutions in Kobe and Yokohama, Japan. The experience provided the participating educators with ideas for integrating disaster preparedness education and related values into their classrooms.
