Abstract
In response to the East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami on 11 March 2011, UNESCO ASPnet youths in Asia were organized in international solidarity, first with message exchange and second in an international workshop. The international workshop was designed and implemented with DRR education in synergy with ESD. This chapter introduces how such workshop provided a learning experience for students and teachers to broaden the scope of DRR education. HOPE framework was used to analyze the students comments to see the ESD elements as they felt by them. The chapter concludes with recommendation to utilize international ESD activities to foster local ESD-DRR in for youth as global citizen.
