Disaster Education Promotion Office (DEPO)
DEPO was represented at the Plus Arts booth during the Eighth Session of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction in Geneva, Switzerland, held from 2 to 6 June 2025. Organized by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) and the Swiss Government, the forum focused on the theme “Every Day Counts: Act for Resilience Today.”
The Plus Arts booth showcased DRR games developed by DEPO and by groups in Makati, Philippines. Visitors engaged with the games and learned about DEPO's approach to disaster education, while DEPO Intern Christy Wittkamp attended the conference and participated in the exchange of ideas on locally grounded disaster risk reduction.
The forum provided an opportunity to present DEPO's disaster education approach in an international setting and to engage with broader discussions on local leadership, community participation, education, and disaster preparedness. DEPO participated under Plus Arts at the international forum.
