After this tour a bus will take those participants who wish to travel directly to Kansai

AUSN Certificate in Community and Peace
The forum can also count as 2 credits towards AUSN Certificate in Community and Peace (and
implementing the action plan presented and/or developed at LBD3 will count as a further 2 credits
for another course). 3 Students who wish to gain the credit for attendance of this course should
complete the assignment provided at the end of the Forum, for the credit of the course “Principles
of Disaster Prevention”. Students may still wish to watch the on-line course. The course
description reads: “This course considers the prevention, management and community recovery
from disasters. Disasters are increasingly frequent from many causes, and communities can work
together to overcome them. The course will review activities of the ongoing Youth Looking Beyond
Disaster (LBD) program, and compare roles of volunteers and governments, and the infrastructures
that can enhance the recovery from disaster. The course will review principles used in different
cultures to prevent disasters and methods used to recover from them. It will evaluate activities that
will be effective for community action that will build community resilience together by reducing
the risk before, providing better relief during, and recovering rapidly after a disaster. There will be
discussion of how to recognize the enormous human and developmental costs of natural disasters,
and the causative factors; effective disaster risk reduction; disaster mitigation technologies and
infrastructure; the roles of youth networks in recovery from disaster, and examples from different
countries and of different disasters.”
