Panel | Opening Your mind(set): Taking action with young people for disaster resilience and risk reduction
Twelve months ago (ADRC25, Perth WA) we discussed how young people can be empowered to build a more disaster-resilient Australia. Over the past twelve months we have witnessed an increased and diverse nature of disasters, impacting on communities in all states and territories. The need for action to centre youth perspectives and centre youth participation in our increasingly uncertain world has never been more crucial to equity. It is vital that young people are actively involved in our planning to ensure inequities are visible and changeable. As practitioners and scholars working with young people, we challenge ourselves to consider how our mindset matters as we develop an understanding of the deeper, systemic causes of risk and what that means for young people.
In this panel we consider youth-focused, disaster resilience that take a strengths-based approach with young people. We have brought together young panellists from WA and Victoria to speak to this approach, including the Inochi Declaration that calls for Young Disaster Resilience Leaders, as a new governance model, an overview of Consultation data focused on Collaboration & Translation between young people and emergency management organisations, and community-informed power sharing strategies that meet the unique needs of local populations. Following the panel presentations, young people and disasters researchers invite you into the conversation, with questions or to share your own experience.
