Yachiyo Engineering Co., Ltd. (HQ: Taito-ku, Tokyo; President: Tsutomu Takahashi) and Casio Computer Co., Ltd. (HQ: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Hiroshi Takano) will host a free online seminar for middle/high school teachers, education boards, and disaster prevention professionals.
### About This Seminar
In Japan, where large-scale disasters occur almost every year, 'soft' measures (awareness and behavioral enlightenment) are considered as crucial as physical infrastructure for disaster management. Based on the national Disaster Prevention Basic Plan, local governments are creating disaster action plans (timelines). Meanwhile, 'disaster prevention' is positioned within the current curriculum guidelines as a key theme for inquiry-based learning related to real-life connections.
While many examples of disaster education exist, students often perceive disasters as extraordinary events unrelated to their daily lives. It is essential to provide motivation and awareness that leads to students taking disaster prevention personally. Using 'water disasters' as an example, this seminar combines Casio’s 'ClassPad.net'—a learning app providing digital notebooks and tools—with Yachiyo Engineering's expertise in social infrastructure to propose lessons where students think and act proactively.
### Featured Tools
