Disaster Resilience Education for Young People


1st October 2021

The Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience (AIDR) has launched the latest in its handbook series, the Disaster Resilience Education for Young People Handbook.

The handbook provides guidance for those seeking to engage young people in learning and action for disaster risk reduction and resilience. Through participation and education, young people can act as agents of change.

The handbook is designed to support

  • teachers and educators, executive and leadership teams in schools and early learning centres
  • organisations engaging with schools and early learning communities
  • organisations engaging with young people
  • policy makers in education settings.

Neil Dufty, Principal of FMA Member Molino Stewart Pty Ltd, was the handbook writer.

The handbook and a 60 minute webinar are available at: knowledge.aidr.org.au/resources/handbook-disaster-resilience-education

Also, the AIDR plans to mark the UN International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction by launching its next handbook, the Systemic Disaster Risk Handbook.

Register for the Systemic Disaster Risk Handbook Showcase on 13 October at: aidr.org.au/events/31271?locationId=31272
