Cómics educativos para la resiliencia: una herramienta para la gestión de riesgos en zonas amazónicas. Caso de estudio en la cabecera parroquial de Patuca

Abstract

Abstract: This research paper addresses the problem of the lack of education in risk management among children in the parish capital of Patuca, a community exposed to threats such as floods and landslides. To do this, a diagnosis was made with a group of children between 7 and 9 years old from the "Héroes del Cenepa" Educational Unit, to find out their perception regarding the use of educational tools and knowledge about disaster risk. Through surveys and participatory observations, the effectiveness of the comic was measured, showing a significant increase in knowledge and retention of information about risk management. These results were analyzed to find out their perception regarding disaster risk and their interest in using educational tools on this topic. After that, we were able to propose an educational proposal through the use of didactic and attractive educational tools such as comics, where the use of characters and stories that fit the reality of the town was reflected.
