This publication provides details of the development of culturally appropriate and locally relevant educational materials for natural disaster preparedness that target key stakeholder groups and integrate Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) principles and strategies.
Lessons learned by four in-country project teams, namely the Maldives, Thailand, Indonesia and India, and two collaborating organizations, the Bangladesh Red Crescent Society and the Asia/Pacific Cultural Centre for UNESCO (ACCU), while developing materials in collaboration with community groups in the Asia-Pacific region, are documented. This publication prepared under the Japanese Funds-in-Trust funded “Education for Natural Disaster Preparedness in Asia-Pacific within the context of Education for Sustainable Development” project provides insights into effective techniques for developing locally relevant educational materials, and highlights some of the challenges in that field.
