In order to to provide information and raise awareness, in collaboration with Provincial Directorate of National Education, training sessions were held in schools during pre and post periods of retrofitting and reconstruction projects to provide detailed information to project affected people and beneficiaries; students, parents and teachers.
In those sessions, information is provided regarding new features introduced into schools, along with basic principles of individual disaster preparedness given under safe life training modules. By those awareness raising activities, we guide and take measures against possible social and psychological problems that may arise for the students who will continue their education in another hosting school.

During retrofitting and reconstruction activities, we include opinions of people who will use these facilities to the works carrying on in hospitals, student dormitories, social service and administrative buildings. We form projects by taking feedbacks into consideration in the meetings with related parties. After retrofitting works, we observe how perception has changed on the basis of school, criteria, and district area.
