Disastrous Dinner with a Difference
The road to recovery after disaster is longer and harder without a sense of the journey ahead. This Disastrous Dinner with a Difference empowers community members with recovery knowledge.
The Disastrous Dinner with a Difference is so much more than a community education session. This highly engaging and interactive event will support disaster-impacted communities to:
- deepen community connections
- build recovery knowledge and a recovery toolkit.
Why is this so important? We know it is the locals who will drive and support recovery for communities long after the sirens and media have disappeared. It is locals who can best put recovery knowledge to use as they lead their households through recovery, support their neighbors and advocate for and make informed decisions for their communities.
The event mixes curated conversation, connection, and the interactive presentation of recovery knowledge from a world-leading psychosocial recovery expert.
Includes a set of Cards for Calamity for impacted households to continue the learning and support post-event.
Please get in touch to discuss the needs of your community.
