Comprehensive School Safety: Awareness, Advocacy, Action

INEE and GADRRRES are hosting a webinar on protecting and empowering learners, educators, and the systems that support them. This webinar will be held twice to accommodate a variety of time zones.

Without preparedness and resilience, continued shocks and stresses threaten to exacerbate an already staggering global education crisis, putting millions of children’s futures in peril. This year’s theme for the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction (IDDRR) focuses on empowering communities, including children and youth, for a more resilient future. We have an opportunity to collectively advance this work within education through comprehensive school safety. During this webinar,

• The Global Alliance for Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience in the Education Sector (GADRRRES) will provide an overview of their mandate, network structure, and will profile the Comprehensive School Safety Framework as an essential framework cutting across the nexus of education, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), climate, health, conflict and displacement. 
• Good Practices will highlight comprehensive school safety practices across initiatives.
• Tools and recommendations for collective action will be shared followed by a Q&A.
• INEE will lead a discussion on how we can all engage in and support work on school safety within and beyond the global education sector focusing on intersectoral approaches. 

The recording of the webinars and all presentations will be posted on the INEE website. If you have any questions about the webinars, contact [email protected].
