How to promote resilience of children and young people. Disaster participation and management

Program

Children and young people are one of the groups most affected in a disaster situation and yet also one of the most difficult to be heard. Research carried out by the CUIDAR project indicates that facilitating their participation can increase their resilience and that of their communities, as well as the quality of civil protection decisions and systems. We invite you to the conference to share these ideas, discuss them and build proposals that allow us to move forward in this direction.
