Students in Pakistan, the USA and Uzbekistan are creating animated public service announcements focused on teaching lessons about natural disaster preparedness.
The project enabled youth in Pakistan, Uzbekistan and the United States to develop a sense of responsibility toward their communities through the creation of animated public service announcements on the topic of natural disaster preparedness. Through support from the US Department of State, Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs, a small team of participants in these countries are participating in comprehensive animation trainings, community service activities, classroom presentations, field trips, animation production and exhibitions, and cultural activities. All iEARN participants are invited to participate in the project's online forum and exchange information on the importance of a functioning and transparent government, cooperation and coordination across non-governmental sectors of a society, and the crucial role young citizens have within a civil society during times of crisis.
