Manchester schools join HCRI鈥檚 disaster simulation exercise
The Humanitarian & Conflict Response Institute (HCRI) welcomed high school students from across Greater Manchester for its annual Young People in Humanitarianism Conference.
On 22nd May, HCRI hosted its annual youth conference, welcoming students from four local schools for a simulation exercise about disaster preparedness and response.
The event 鈥� titled the 鈥楪reat Fire of Manchester鈥� 鈥� explored resilience, disaster response, and simulated challenges during post-disaster aid distribution.
Students were guided by a team of HCRI undergraduate and postgraduate students, who co-designed the event with HCRI鈥檚 Dr Martin Parham.
Thank you to the schools that joined us, which were Co-op Academy Belle Vue, Dean Trust Ardwick, St Peter鈥檚 RC High School, and The Grange School.
