abstract = "Purpose: The purpose of this study is to encourage graduate
students to facilitate a participatory mapping activity with high
school students, to have their voices heard in the disaster risk
reduction (DRR) agenda. Design/methodology/approach: A
participatory mapping, youth-led session, was conducted with 22
high school students, where they had to identify flood and
landslide-prone areas. Then, they were asked to propose and plan
DRR measures in collaboration with local partners in S{\~a}o Luiz
do Paraitinga, Brazil. Findings: The participatory method engaged
the graduate students and the high school students in the DRR
debate, allowing them to map hazards and vulnerabilities, and to
discuss five incubation projects for enhancing DRR in the city.
Originality/value: This research highlights the importance of
involving young people in DRR formulation and planning to build
local capacities in younger generations. The outputs were shared
with the local civil defense and a local non-governmental
organization (NGO), who suggested recommendations to improve the
five incubation projects.",
