Prime Academy Students Engage in Disaster Preparedness Education at MDRRLC

On 4 September 2025, DEPO welcomed 34 students and two focal teachers from Prime Academy, Bhaktapur, for a two-hour visit to the Mitra Disaster Risk Reduction Learning Center (MDRRLC). As the first visit from a Bhaktapur school, the program aimed to introduce students to DRR concepts, games, and hands-on activities and encourage them to share their learning within their school community.

During the visit, students explored MDRRLC exhibits, participated in DRR games, and engaged in interactive learning sessions. The activities included practical learning on first aid for bleeding and fractures, as well as discussions on mental preparedness and remaining calm during disasters. Evaluation forms were also completed after the programme to gather participants' feedback.

The visit involved 34 students and two focal teachers, with students reporting greater confidence in helping others during emergencies and recognizing the importance of mental and physical preparedness. DEPO also expressed interest in seeing the Prime Academy DRR Club continue sharing these lessons with younger students.
