òòò½ÎÑÊÓƵ schools join HCRI’s disaster simulation exercise
The Humanitarian & Conflict Response Institute (HCRI) welcomed high school students from across Greater òòò½ÎÑÊÓƵ for its annual Young People in Humanitarianism Conference.
On 22nd May, HCRI hosted its annual youth conference, welcoming students from four local schools for a simulation exercise about disaster preparedness and response.
The event – titled the ‘Great Fire of òòò½ÎÑÊÓƵ’ – explored resilience, disaster response, and simulated challenges during post-disaster aid distribution.
Students were guided by a team of HCRI undergraduate and postgraduate students, who co-designed the event with HCRI’s Dr Martin Parham.
Thank you to the schools that joined us, which were Co-op Academy Belle Vue, Dean Trust Ardwick, St Peter’s RC High School, and The Grange School.
