We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to Session S3.17: Games and their role in volcanic hazard communication at this years Cities on Volcanoes 10 in Napoli, September 2-7, 2018: https://www.citiesonvolcanoes10.com/s3-17/
The abstract submission deadline is May 10, 2018.
Session information:
Communicating risks related to volcanic activity and strengthening the resilience of endangered communities is paramount to mitigate volcanic hazards, and to ensure adequate responses to emergency protocols. It can be challenging to find the right means of raising awareness with local communities though, at the core of which stand trust, cooperation and sensitisation without stoking fears. Games can be an effective medium to help creating a healthy relationship between locals, scientists, officials, and the volcanoes, and thus strengthening resilience in a less formal and more relaxing way. It is also a powerful tool to enable people to empathise with the roles and realities of other stakeholders during a volcanic crisis. They can be particularly effective when communicating volcanic hazards to children and in schools. We invite contributions on concepts of and experiences with games of all kinds, both for grown-up and for children, to communicate volcanic risks. We especially encourage bringing your game with you, as we intend to organise showcase sessions during which all participants of the CoV 10 can test the variety of games.
We look forward to hearing from you and hope to see you in Italy with some great games.
The Conveners,
