Free Online Course on Comprenhensive Risk Management

in Educational Institutions

The course has been prepared by UNESCO in collaboration with the International Red Cross Foundation, the European Commission, NGOs and the Ministries of Education of Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.

The content will be available in Spanish at the Red Cross virtual campus. This is a free, open and self-conducted induction tool, aimed at teachers, directors and employees of pre-school, primary and secondary educational establishments. It covers all stages of risk management in educational institutions, using different concepts, methodologies and tools that will allow the participants to plan and successfully perform comprehensive risk management in their respective institutions. 

This training proposal arises from the limited offer in the region of training opportunities for educational communities in terms of risk management and planning, which is critical to this region of the world which continuously suffers the effects of disasters and crises. In order to reach the greatest number of people, the course is free and has been specially adapted to teachers’ needs, given their demanding workload.
