Project Title: "Economic Resilience and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRRR) Spoken Poetry"

Subjects: Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience (DRRR), Economics, Creative Writing Project
Overview: This interdisciplinary project combines the principles of Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience (DRRR) with economics and creative writing.
Students will explore the economic impacts of disasters on communities and businesses while also developing their creative writing skills to communicate
DRRR strategies through spoken poetry.
Process Questions:
1. What are the economic consequences of disasters, and how do they affect local businesses, jobs, and the overall economy? How can businesses and
communities enhance their economic resilience to better withstand and recover from disasters?
2. How do DRRR strategies intersect with economic considerations, and what are the cost-benefit analyses of implementing these strategies?
3. What role can creative writing and storytelling play in raising awareness about DRRR and promoting preparedness in our community?
4. How can we analyze the economic vulnerabilities and strengths of our community to develop tailored DRRR strategies that also consider economic
sustainability? How do businesses and individuals make financial decisions related to disaster preparedness and recovery, and what behavioral
economics principles can be applied to encourage better decision-making?
5. What creative writing techniques and spoken poetry approaches can effectively convey the importance of DRRR and economic resilience to a broader
audience? What metrics can we use to measure the success of our project, both in terms of economic resilience and the impact of our creative spoken
poetry?

Impact Assessment:
Students will assess the economic impact of their DRRR strategies and measure the project's success in enhancing economic resilience.
Publication and Dissemination: The creative stories and economic findings will be published in various formats, such as books, videos, or an online
platform, to reach a wider audience. This project not only explores the critical intersection of DRRR and economics but also harnesses the power of
storytelling to engage and educate the community about disaster preparedness and economic resilience.
DRIVING QUESTION:
"How can the power of spoken poetry be utilized to inspire and inform communities about the critical intersection of economic resilience and disaster risk
reduction, fostering greater awareness, preparedness, and resilience in the face of potential disasters?"
