Japanese Teachers from JICA Learn about DEPO's Efforts

In August 2024, a group of Japanese teachers from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) visited the Disaster Education Promotion Office (DEPO) to learn about disaster-related activities in Nepal. DEPO welcomed the educators and provided an overview of its programs and initiatives related to disaster preparedness and education.

During the visit, the teachers explored how DEPO educates and prepares Nepali children, youth, and visitors for potential disasters. DEPO representatives presented educational materials, training programs, and community outreach activities designed to raise awareness of disaster risk and build resilience, while the visitors also learned about DEPO’s approach to making disaster preparedness accessible to people of different ages.

The visit provided an opportunity for knowledge sharing and cultural exchange between JICA teachers and DEPO. The Japanese teachers received DEPO’s presentation and materials, expressed interest in applying the lessons in their own country, and contributed to continued collaboration between JICA and DEPO on disaster preparedness and resilience.
