Let’s learn to prevent disasters: educational kit and riskland game
UNISDR and UNICEF have together produced an educational kit for children called “Let’s learn to prevent disasters!”. It includes the board game 'Riskland' whereby players learn about what they can do to reduce disaster impacts by answering questions and advancing along the board’s winding path. It aims to provide the educational community and children with an innovative and interactive tool for risk management.
The kit and game may be adapted according to the different hazards communities face, and translated into multiple languages, provided that UNISDR and UNICEF are properly credited. Please consult the document "Guidance note and form for Riskland game translation into new languages" below for more information.
