キーワード：service learning, DRRM, inclusive and participatory community development, sendai framework for disaster risk reduction, NSTP
As a response to Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and Sustainable Development Goals, this poster illustrates the process, narratives and experiences of the UST National Service Training Program (UST NSTP) in the implementation of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) to their curriculum. The NSTP was instituted by the Philippine government by virtue of the Republic Act 9163 that aims to enhance civic consciousness and defense preparedness in the Filipino youth by developing the ethics of service and patriotism while undergoing community development activity to the marginalized community. As a major part of the curriculum, the UST NSTP college students learned the concepts, theories and skills of community-based disaster risk reduction management and emergency preparedness which equip them to practice and apply this in their fieldwork activity in various partner communities and institutions suffered from marginalization and voicelessness during disaster management.
In the process of community fieldwork, UST NSTP facilitators and students utilized Participatory Capacities and Vulnerabilities Assessment (PCVA), a participatory research methodology that holistically collects, analyzes and synthesizes communities’ resources and vulnerabilities in dealing with disasters. As a service-learning tool for students and partner communities, PCVA is significant in understanding disaster risks and exposure to different natural and anthropogenic hazards through their collective and individual experience. The process lets the NSTP students worked with various at-risk sectors such as children, women, urban poor, farmers and indigenous peoples so that they can formulate their inclusive disaster risk assessment. Starting on the communities’ local knowledge, NSTP students build on the capacity of the community by weaving their local experience, practices and skills in facing disaster risk.
With this, the poster seeks to contribute and respond to the call for a participatory, inclusive pro-poor, gender-sensitive and empowering service-learning in disaster risk reduction and management.
