On February 6, 2023, a devastating earthquake struck southern and central Türkiye, with a magnitude of 7.8 (Mw), making it one of the strongest earthquakes in the region in over a century. These earthquakes in Türkiye stand as one of the most catastrophic seismic events of the 21st century, with far-reaching humanitarian, economic, and social consequences.

Context

Türkiye was struck by 2 large earthquakes with magnitudes of 7.7 and 7.6 on February of 2023. Turkish society as a whole experienced psychological and social repercussions as a result.

Many everyday activities, along with education as a whole was put on halt for everyone.

But why is education so important in these critical times?

But why is education so important in these critical times?

Continuity of education is not only important for development but also for mental well-being.

Educational spaces provide a safe space for both the family and the teachers, supporting the solidarity.

Research

how might we…

support stakeholders in education to acclimatise to the process of normalisation within post-disaster educational activities?

As students that experienced the disaster indirectly, we combined our own experiences and observations with expert knowledge we gathered from our interviews.

Interviews

Aimed to understand direct experiences, attitudes and learn professional insights.

Constraints

Due to the nature of the topic we avoided interviewing recently impacted people.

Research Synthesis

Formal education should begin in the recovery period.

Play therapy and socialization is the most important post-disaster.

Psychological support is important for continuity.

In order to adapt, there needs to be face-to-face interactions.

Professionals are needed as much as materials and safe spaces.

In the context of disasters, education transforms into a tool for supporting mental well-being of both parents and children.

So rather than directly continuing traditional education, activity based interactive education is suggested.

What if we can design a support network for both directly and indirectly affected people?

So our question became how to enable and support communication of different actors in such critical situations while fostering solidarity among children, parents and volunteers?

…but, why an app?
…but, why an app?

Phones become such essential tools in post-disaster recovery processes, so the system manifests in the form of an app in order to ensure the critical information flow.
