A Collaborative Exchange on DRR: Sichuan University & Hong Kong Polytechnic University Visit MDRRLC

In January, DEPO welcomed professors, students, and team members from the Sichuan University–The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Institute for Disaster Management and Reconstruction to the Mitra Disaster Risk Reduction Learning Center. The visit provided an opportunity for knowledge exchange and collaboration in disaster risk reduction.

DEPO briefed the visiting group on the work of the Learning Center and its approaches to disaster preparedness and DRR education. The visitors also participated in interactive educational games designed to raise awareness about disaster preparedness and explored how gamification can combine learning with engagement.

The exchange involved DEPO, MDRRLC, Sichuan University, and Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The visit provided a platform for sharing approaches to disaster education and discussing continued knowledge exchange and collaboration.
