With the participation of our GEA Coordinator, three members and two of our young GEA members, we participated in the Disaster Risk Reduction Conference held for the third time this year in Sendai, Japan.
WCDRR Ignite Stage
We introduce our project WCDRR, which established a bridge of love and fraternity between Turkish and Japanese children after the earthquake and tsunami disasters on the stage in the main hall, in Japan in 2011. In any disasters may happen in the next 6 months, posters that they can write messages of love to be transmitted to children in the disaster area were distributed to the participants and afterwards we received very positive feedback.

Earthquake Preparedness and Awareness Training in Youth Forum.
We trained participants from different countries such as Nepal, Peru, Ecuador, Japan, Malaysia and Indonesia about what to do before,during and after an earthquake and shared our experiences by doing an exercise. Upon the incoming requests short introduction of our WCDRR Ignite Stage project, which attracted great attention the day before, was shared with the young people who participated in the Earthquake Preparedness and Awareness Training, postcards were distributed and messages of love and fraternity messages were collected.
