Japanese Teachers at Bhassara Secondary School

In August, a group of Japanese teachers from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) visited Bhassara Secondary School in Lalitpur, Nepal, to share their expertise in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). The school had previously received training and materials for developing DRR educational programs and had been implementing DRR awareness activities within the school and surrounding community.

During the visit, the Japanese teachers spent a full day interacting with students, observing their DRR activities, and sharing their experiences and knowledge related to disaster preparedness. They also introduced the students to Japanese culture, providing an opportunity for cultural exchange alongside the DRR-focused activities.

The visit involved collaboration between Bhassara Secondary School and Japanese teachers from JICA, combining disaster preparedness knowledge with cultural exchange. The engagement highlighted cooperation between the school and its Japanese counterparts in relation to disaster risk reduction and community resilience.
