COGSS Davos Presentation - The Global Schools Project
Submitted by administrator on Tue, 24/04/2007 - 23:32.
The objectives of this multi-agency presentation session were to create a platform for the COGSS forum (the Coalition for Global Schools Safety).
Developed to compliment the UN-ISDR system thematic cluster/platform on knowledge and education and the Global Schools Project Action Plan developed by SARAID. The session reviewed key issues required to establish disaster reduction initiatives within schools by addressing; improved building and construction methods; sustainability of initiatives; Disaster Reduction Culture development and practical ways forward to increase the survivability of children within hazard risk communities.
The session was designed to act as a briefing and the demonstration of a truly united and coordinated Inter Agency Global effort to enhance disaster reduction within all vulnerable Schools and communities.
