The 2nd Ushi-oni Conference Workshop

[Protecting lives and lifestyles] "Food, clothing, and shelter: Let's talk about the role of each!"

Organized by: Non-profit organization Uwajima NPO Center

Sponsored by: Uwajima City, Uwajima City Social Welfare Council

The aim of this event is to have disaster victims talk about the difficulties they faced at evacuation centres and the support they received that made them happy. Based on this, we will learn from the disaster and each participant will think, discuss and make a presentation. This will enable everyone to learn in order to prepare in advance for a possible future Nankai Trough mega-earthquake or other disasters.

Approximately 40 participants

People who experienced the heavy rains of July 2018 shared their experiences with the video footage from that time. Some were in tears as they remembered that day, while the participants listened to the stories engrossed in taking notes.

During disasters, problems arise in various areas such as food, clothing, and shelter, but we will hold workshops where we will listen to and learn from people who have experienced disasters and talk about the roles that each person can play in both disasters and everyday life.
