Launch of the 2006-2007 Disaster Risk Reduction Begins at School Campaign

 
The UN/ISDR and its partners launched the 2006-2007 Disaster Risk Reduction Begins at School Campaign in Paris on June 15, 2006 during the International Symposium on “Progress and proposals regarding education for sustainable development,” organized by the French Government, under the auspices of UNESCO, the Council of Europe and the Francophone International Organization (OIF). UN/ISDR Director, Mr. Sálvano Briceño and UNESCO’s Director General, Mr. Köichiro Matsuura lead the Campaign launch that gathered over 300 participants and media representatives. The event was moderated by Ms. Sabine Quindou, presenter of the France’s TV3 science programme “C’est pas sorcier,” and children from France, Iran, Japan and the United Kingdom exchanged their personal experiences of how they learned to protect themselves in the event of a natural hazard.
