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). 2 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.”
