Comprehensive School Safety: Awareness, Advocacy, Action

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) provided an overview of their mandate, network structure, and profiled 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 highlighted comprehensive school safety practices across initiatives from GCPEA, UNICEF Pakistan, Save the Children Malawi, UNICEF Nepal, Save the Children Philippines, and Save the Children Lebanon
• Tools and recommendations for collective action were shared followed by a Q&A.

The recording and presentation slides are a combination of the same webinar held at 2 different times.
