Why youth competition now?
Indonesia and Japan are both countries where we have a lot of natural disasters. Especially after the March-11-earthquake in 2011, more people have become aware that there are values and lessons we can learn from the crisis in order to be more prepared for the disasters in the future.
Indonesia and Japan are both countries where we have a lot of natural disasters. Especially after the March-11-earthquake in 2011, more people have become aware that there are values and lessons we can learn from the crisis in order to be more prepared for the disasters in the future.
The
youth, are the agents of change that determine what the future will be.
In Indonesia, the wave of young people’s participation in giving social
contribution is growing fast in various issue-areas, including disaster
as one of the major problem faced by Indonesia, today.
Seeing
this spirit and momentum of fast-growing youth participations, The
Japan Foundation, Jakarta and Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI)
encourage Indonesian youth proactive involvement on disaster
reconstruction and to convey knowledge on education for disaster
prevention through a competition in showing past activities as well as
proposing what you can build as improved or new projects for disaster
education. Thus here we announce the call for application for the Youth
Competition for Disaster Education.
What
have been your past activities in disaster and education? How do you
improve your activities? Are you motivated enough to learn from Japanese
experiences? –If you are ready to answer to these questions, please

The
24 winners (or six organizations/groups) will be awarded as the part of
the Kizuna (Bond) Project in February and March 2013 to participate in
the 12-days of study trip to Japan and to contribute in experiencing the
reconstruction efforts of the Great East Japan Earthquake.
Note:
For the reconstruction from the Great East Japan Earthquake, the Kizuna
(Bond) project is going to hold exchange programmes involving more than
