NUTS 3 (Province)

A post-wildfire recovery initiative that mobilized conservation corps youth as a trained, paid workforce to support environmental and community recovery in fire-affected areas of Los Angeles County.

The project consists of three structured workshops: Explore (building awareness of risk and resilience through storytelling and games), Experience (role-playing emergency scenarios to practice safe behaviors), and Participate (hands-on engagement via VR or the dynamic team game “Corri il Rischio”). The initiative equips children with practical skills for emergency preparedness and fosters collaboration, decision-making, and climate crisis awareness, positioning Feel Safe as a pioneering model for integrating technology and education in resilience-building.
