GAMIFIED EDUCATION

What makes hazards become disasters depends primarilyon the way societies develop, build and construct.

NATURAL HAZARDS VS NATURAL DISASTERS

Are we up to the challenge?

YES, if we keep up the effort and plan for the long term

✓ Disaster Prevention

✓ Behavioral pattern-building

✓ Minimization of risks and losses

ARMENIA’S HAZARD PROFILE

▪ No separate discipline in schools

▪ Outdated and passive learning methods

▪ Educational gap between the urban and rural
