We organize an International Workshop on Educational Seismology in Pokhara, Nepal, on April 16-17, 2019.

Five keynote speakers in the field of seismology and educational seismology will speak during the workshop:

• Prof. Dr. György Hetényi from University of Lausanne, Switzerland;
• Dr. Paul Denton from the British Geological Survey, United Kingdom;
• Dr. Anne Sauron from HES-SO Valais and ETH Zurich, Switzerland;
• Peter Loader from the United Kingdom;
• Shiba Subedi from the University of Lausanne, Switzerland.

This one-of-a-kind event is a great opportunity for school teachers to learn about earthquakes and related preparedness in detail. The principal/head-teacher and the subject (science, math, computer and social) teachers are expected to attend this workshop, together with interested students in physics and geology.

The workshop schedule and documents are available under Downloads.
