Reconstruir sin ladrillos MOOC
Since 1950, 91Â鶹¹ú²ú¾«Æ·×ÔÅÄ worked worldwide to maintain the right to education in prolonged emergencies and crises. Education is a fundamental right that prepares for life and can save lives in critical moments.
Risks and disasters have increased across the planet to such an extent that they can reverse the advances in sustainable development achieved through decades of effort. Particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean, climate change and situations of violence and social conflict represent a challenge for educational systems and their work of not leaving millions of students behind or losing opportunities for schooling and learning.
The UNESCO Office in Mexico adapted (Rebuilding without bricks) methodology to support school communities and their resilience capabilities. Now offer a massive, online, open and to-self-managed course (available in Spanish) that enables them to respond better to risks and natural and social disasters.

Course background
The methodology is the result of diverse experiences from the UNESCO Education Sector in the face of disaster and crisis events in Latin America and the Caribbean, such as several floods, droughts and forest fires, earthquakes in Haiti, Chile, Ecuador and Mexico, the hurricanes with high impact in the Caribbean and the south of Mexico, and others. There is a special focus on recovering the local resilience capacities of affected communities, so they can manage an effective recovery and educational transformation based on learning during the crisis.
