The CUIDAR project: Cultures of Disaster Resilience Among Children and Young People (2015-18), was funded by the European Commission under its Horizon 2020 Programme. The ESRC Children, Young People and Disasters Urgency project provided the stimulus for development of this European wide initiative.

The CUIDAR project set out to enhance the resilience of children, young people and urban societies to disasters and enable disaster responders to meet children and young people’s needs more effectively. CUIDAR means to take care in Spanish and Portuguese.
