Join the DRANZSEN Forum in Brisbane
The Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience (AIDR), through the Education for Young People program, promotes the development of hazard-related knowledge, skills and strategies for all young Australians. Disaster resilience education (DRE) offers a vision of young Australians who are empowered to participate as active members in skilled and resilient communities, working to reduce the risk of disaster.
The DRANZSEN Forum will draw on leading examples from across the states and territories, enabling participants to benefit from the diverse experiences of experts and educators from all around the country. There will be the opportunity to hear from young Australians and learn from their reflections on disaster resilience learning experiences, and suggestions for development.
More information and the program will be available on the AIDR Events page soon.
The forum offers an unparalleled opportunity to interact with representatives from education and emergency services, NGOs, universities, local government, and community groups. Event participants will explore effective models of disaster resilience education and supporting research.

- School leadership teams and educators interested in programs to reduce risk and build resilience in their local communities.
