UNESCO-IOC Calls Indian Ocean Youth to Participate in Short Video Competition on Tsunami Awareness.

To commemorate the International Youth Day (12 August), the International Disaster Risk Reduction Day (13 October), and the World Tsunami Awareness Day (5 November), UNESCO-IOC Indian Ocean Tsunami Information Centre (IOTIC) and the Intergovernmental Coordination Group for Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System (ICG/IOTWMS) jointly with U-INSPIRE Indonesia is organizing a series of activities on Indian Ocean Youth Short Video Competition on Tsunami Awareness.

This initiative aims to engage with youth (between 14 and 24 years) living in the regions around the Indian Ocean to share their creative thoughts, ideas, concepts, and/or activities related to tsunami awareness.

Theme for this year

Community Tsunami Awareness

Despite being the largest share in the world’s demographic and the most potential group of people, the youth are also the most at risk. The youth commonly have the smallest voice when it comes to engagement in development, while they will be highly affected by that development. Similarly, in disaster risk reduction, including tsunami hazards, the youth also have less opportunity to voice and be involved in community preparedness and capacity building.

Objectives

Increase the knowledge of Indian Ocean youth on the topic of Tsunami Awareness and Preparedness

Increase the participation of Indian Ocean Youth in tsunami awareness and preparedness in the region.

Encourage and upskill Indian Ocean youth in the creation of content for social media and other communication outlets, in particular on the topic of Tsunami Awareness and Preparedness

Contribute to the commemoration of the World Tsunami Awareness Day

Competition Groupings

The competition will be divided into four groups:

Open for youth from Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka

Open for youth from Comoros, Maldives, Mauritius, Singapore, Seychelles, Timor-Leste and France La-reunion.

Open for youth from India, Pakistan, Iran, Oman, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen

Living With The Sea

Vania Qanita Damayanti, Adrian Muhammad Fikri Suni, Nur Amri Firmansyah

The earthquake, tsunami, and liquefaction that occurred in 2018 made us realize the importance of knowledge in reading nature. We know that there were many losses that occurred due to lack of knowledge. We try to celebrate the grief by adding knowledge. Disasters must continue to be discussed so that we continue to remember and learn. Disaster knowledge must continue to be discussed to become a provision for the next generation.The earthquake, tsunami, and liquefaction that occurred in 2018 made us realize the importance of knowledge in reading nature.

Atypical Tsunami and Solution

Muhyddin Aprizandy, Bobby Tegar Sanjaya, Muna Fauziah

Did you know that a tsunami can happen suddenly?
Commonly we think that a tsunami always starts with an earthquake. What about those that are not caused by an earthquake?

Atypical tsunami or non-tectonic tsunami happened caused by landslides, volcanic eruptions, and the fall of large objects such as meteors into the water, not like typical tsunamis that happen only because earthquakes.
