Six years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2017. In Japan, that earthquake is forgotten by the world.
In order not to repeat that tragedy, it is important to tell the next generation.
So, we held "Disaster Seminar to Protect the Lives of Children" on March 11th & 18th "Do not forget 3.11." We held for school teachers, nurseries, playground staff and young people who would like to do it in the future.
We talked to the disaster area for more than 120 times for 6 years and talked about experiences and episodes that we have seen and heard. When we evacuated from the immediate aftermath, we talked about the state of the child in the life of the temporary housing, the behavior of the teacher and nursery teacher when she was in shelter life.
In addition, we introduced points for daily preparedness based on the experience story of 3.11, familiar danger & useful points, disaster prevention survival technique.
We held an original workshop. Assuming concrete damage situation, I did the ultimate judge game. I simulated the disorder situation at the time of the disaster and cultivated the ability to find the third answer.
Furthermore, we made a disaster prevention program that can be practiced at schools and communities. In order to continue disaster prevention activities for a long time, we developed a program combining play and local events. Sports festival and disaster prevention, excursion and disaster prevention, cherry-blossom viewing disaster prevention, New Year's Day and disaster prevention etc. were born.
In addition, we held staff training for Ishinomaki's child support organization.
This time, we took out funding and human resource management training for sustainable activities. It is important to multiply the local resources with ourselves and find the original solution.
In the town, the scars of the earthquake disappeared little by little, but the reconstruction of the heart has only just begun.
The local NPO organization is also in a difficult time.
That is why we need to support with various networks.
Thank you for your support in the 7th year too.
