Exciting Summer Disaster Preparedness Workshop for Kids
This July, TAG Corporation, based in Nerima, Tokyo, will host a unique event named "Creating, Learning, and Completing Summer Disaster Preparedness Workshops for Kids" designed for elementary school students. The event, organized by their disaster preparedness media for mothers, "Itsumo Shimo," focuses on supporting children as they engage in research projects while having fun.
The workshop addresses common concerns of mothers:
- - Learning through Fun: Keeping the kids engaged with enjoyable activities while learning important knowledge.
- - Cost and Effort Efficiency: Minimizing time and financial investment needed for the research.
- - Structured Reports: Ensuring that children finish with proper reports on their activities.
The planned workshop allows children to work on disaster preparedness research that they can officially submit as their completed project. Everything crafted during the event, from what they learn to the worksheets they fill out, counts towards their research.
Workshop Activities
The workshop consists of interactive and hands-on activities that teach essential disaster preparedness skills in a fun and engaging way. Here’s what participants can expect:
1.
Making a Paracord Pet Bottle Holder
Participants will learn how to transform paracords, a popular fashion item, into practical disaster preparedness tools by crafting a pet bottle holder. It serves both aesthetic and functional purposes, especially in a crisis.
2.
Investigating Emergency Toilets
A special guest speaker, an expert in disaster toilets from Sanko Co., will guide children through an exciting workshop exploring the mechanics of emergency toilets. The session will be quiz-based, combining fun and learning while conducting experiments and assembling simple toilets, providing a tactile learning experience.
