“Let’s
learn to prevent disasters!” educational kit & Riskland
game
UN/ISDR
and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) have together
produced an educational kit for children called “Let’s learn
to prevent disasters!”. It includes the board game “Riskland”
whereby players learn about what they can do to reduce disaster
impacts by answering questions and advancing along the board’s
winding path. The kit and game may be adapted according to
the different hazards communities face, and translated into
multiple languages. To date, the kit is available in English,
Haitian Creole, Maya Kackchiquel, Nepali, Portuguese and Spanish,
with translations into over 15 others currently underway.
Translate
and adapt the educational kit and Riskland for your community!
UN/ISDR
and UNICEF are pleased to provide the text and artwork of
the educational kit “Lets learn to prevent disasters!” and
Riskland game for adaptation and translation to raise awareness
of disaster risk reduction.
The educational
kit and Riskland may be adapted as appropriate. For example,
the basic idea for the kit may be used but instead accompanied
by drawings created by a local artist. Alternatively, the
original artwork or text may be changed to reflect local hazards,
culture and conditions. Even if the kit may already exist
in a given language, a country or region may prefer to adjust
the language and drawings to reflect local expressions or
characters. The only limit is your imagination!
We request
that all reproductions of the education kit include
the ISDR and UNICEF logos (available on the CD-ROM
with the artwork). For alternative formats of the logos and
requests to include logos of other participating organizations,
please contact UN/ISDR. We would appreciate for 5-10 copies
of the new version to be sent to UN/ISDR to further promote
and encourage inter-regional experience sharing and information
exchange in disaster reduction.
To receive
a kit (in English) and CD ROM of the artwork and text (in
Coreldraw 10/11 format) for use in adaption and translation,
please contact isdr@un.org
