Let's be Prepared: An Educational Project about Disasters in Cuba

The project entitled “A Prepararnos” was implemented in the province of Holguin to develop environmental education through formal, non-formal and informal means with the active participation of children and the community at large. The project focused on the relationship between schools and communities. It also established follow-up mechanisms for specific results, and adapted a number of methodologies based upon the local environment, existing problems and natural and human disasters and their prevention. The project was implemented in pilot schools and communities throughout the 14 municipalities of Holguin.
