About

This article describes the 4P Framework, a method to involve youth in disaster risk reduction and resilience. It highlights four principles: Process, Partnerships, Place, and Purpose. These principles encourage youth-adult collaboration and empower young people to lead actions that build community strength. The framework values youth creativity and agency while addressing power dynamics and social issues. By engaging in meaningful activities, young people can develop leadership skills and contribute to their communities' resilience against disasters. The approach aims for inclusive partnerships that respect diverse youth perspectives across various environments like physical spaces or online platforms.
