Session Objectives
- Identify key issues that have emerged since the 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami in regards to the ocean;
- Examine responses, the lessons learned, and policy development and implementation following the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami;
- Examine feasible action plans for policy implementation; and
- Highlight the necessity of a comprehensive approach to Ocean Security.
Training of trainers
Each participant will be empowered to recreate the training upon their return to their organisation in order to achieve a self-propagating legacy. In order to achieve this, a focus will be made throughout the training to relate the learning being facilitated to the realities as they exist for participants.
Study Tours
Underscoring the theoretical introductions and analysis presented, Study Tours form an integral part of the training methodologies utilised by UNITAR. Visits will be made to the relevant organisations and institutions to examine the impact of the tsunami.
