Youth PURPOSE: Preparedness of YoUngsters, ResPonse, RecOvery, Solidarity, and VoluntEering in Times of Crises
With the COVID pandemic, global warming and climate change being more real than ever and our humanity being constantly put on a test, there is a need to reshape the approach towards disaster management: to engage the active young citizens in building the community resilience and to support creation of a global society founded on solidarity as one of the key EU values.
Numerous studies have shown the importance of early engagement of young people in planning and preparedness efforts for disasters. The high numbers of fatalities, among them many children and youth, are yet another evidence that educational approach is not enough and additional education and training in emergency and disaster management is undeniably necessary.

The global challenges we face, led by the climate change are more real than ever. Every year natural disasters kill around 90,000 people and affect close to 160 million people worldwide. The extent to which such events have a fortunate outcome or destroy people’s livelihoods is by no means a matter of chance. Warning systems, safe buildings and well-coordinated aid and relief services can help ensure as many people as possible come through a loss event unscathed and recover quickly from its consequences.
Yet, building resilience does not understand only emergency response systems, but rather capacities of the community to restore its normality as quickly as possible by developing tools to prepare, response, recover and mitigate crises. Youth PURPOSE puts young citizens in the focus by strengthening their resilience by educating them on disaster management, empowering them on active citizenship and volunteering in times of crisis, as well as building a culture of solidarity.
