•
2022 expenditure: CHF 101,000
In December 2022, the Asia Pacific Disaster 
Resilience Centre organized a regional trainin-
training session on the road map to community 
resilience via Enhanced Vulnerability and Capacity 
Assessment in Seoul, South Korea. It served 
as an opportunity for 30 participants from 18 
different National Societies to strengthen their 
practical capabilities for a resilient community.
In 2022, the centre developed new virtual reality 
content on the pandemic, a digital version of 
the board game-Surviving on the Earth, and an 
English version of Problem Solving Expedition, 
which supported interactive training with 732 
people. The training focused on the importance 
of informing risk and building resilient communi-
ties and preparing how to respond in a disaster.
To raise public awareness and to advocate for 
community resilience, the centre collaborated 
with several partners. For example, with the 
Korean Society of Hazard Mitigation (Kosham), 
the centre held a Call for Papers on disaster risk 
reduction and resilience. As a result, six grad-
uate school students were chosen as winners. 
The first prize went to “Analysis of Measurement 
of Regional Resilience an Influencing Factors in 
Spread Stage of COVID-19 Using Unemployment 
Benefit Payment” (Pusan National University; 
Dong, Ah Hyeon).
In addition, the organization of the 3rd Disaster 
Resilience Animation and Cartoon Contest with 
Bucheon International Animation Festival (BIAF) 
helped to channel young people’s creativity and 
attention to climate change, disaster risk reduc-
tion and pandemics.
