Brown Bag Lunch: DRR in and through Education
The SDC Education and Disaster Risk Reduction DRR Networks jointly organized a brown bag lunch on June 4, 2018 to discuss DRR in the education sector
Event Summary
When a disaster strikes, schools are damaged or destroyed, teachers and students are injured or killed and education is disrupted, sometimes for lengthy periods. It is therefore vital to ensure that children have access to quality education in the safest possible environment. DRR in the education sector addresses the universal access to quality education, the recurring humanitarian imperative for education in emergencies and safeguards education-sector investments
This event was based on the example of the Comprehensive School Safety Framework (CSSF). Save the Children Switzerland presented their work on the implementation of the CSSF in China. The SDC Office Myanmar introduced its work on safe school construction and on school-community DRR trainings through skype.
