Building Connections in Disaster Education: Visit from Ehime University

On 28 August, DEPO welcomed five disaster management students from Ehime University, Japan, for a one-hour visit to the Mitra Disaster Risk Reduction Learning Center (MDRRLC). The visit provided an opportunity for the students to learn about DEPO's work and explore disaster education resources at the center.

The programme included a short presentation on DEPO, an exploration of the disaster history board, guided explanations of exhibits, and hands-on learning through interactive games. Before leaving, the students also completed an evaluation form and provided feedback on their visit, including their interest in the game-based learning approaches and locally sourced materials used for first aid practice.

The visit brought together DEPO and students from Ehime University and provided an opportunity for exchanging ideas related to disaster risk reduction. Feedback from the visiting students was also collected to support improvements to future visits.
