EARTH MANUAL PROJECT
Various disaster preparedness activities are underway in different parts of the world. Here is an exhibition to showcase some of the most noteworthy and innovative among them:
We present EARTH MANUAL PROJECT EXHIBITION.
An exhibition for more than merely viewing!


You can experience it in several other ways, whether by listening to stories told by designers and creators or by learning new skills at the workshops.
Each exhibit booth itself offers the visitor a ‘manual’ page with its particular activity neatly summarized. You pick up the pages that especially interest you and compile them to make your own disaster preparedness manual.
Natural disasters are unfortunately on the increase all around the world.
So let us not leave being prepared to someone else
– let each one of us give more thought to disaster preparedness!
The same is true across borders – we need to communicate more and more beyond our national boundaries. That is perhaps the most important point of all! Disaster preparedness on our planet begins by exchanging ideas.
