DAWN’s Education Approach

Education plays such a vital role in shaping our futures. By increasing access to safe and secure education, promoting the building of safe school buildings and encouraging school children to become involved in disaster preparedness plans, DAWN aims to encourage a sustainable long term approach to disaster preparedness and risk reduction.

In addition DAWN is approaching schools in the UK to explore international links that may be made with schools in Nepal and in other developing countries in the future.

DAWN recognises that the flow of knowledge is a reciprocal process and by supporting schools in the UK to broaden the perspectives and horizons of their students, DAWN hopes to provide new opportunities for students to explore and understand the challenges and risks people face in other countries. As such DAWN intends to live up to the concept of being, and promoting, a Disaster Awareness Worldwide Network.
