KnowRisk Schools
Schools in all pilot-areas are secondary schools and target-students ages range from the age 13 years old to 17 years old.
In Portugal two schools were selected as focal points for risk communication: Rainha D. Leonor Secondary School and Padre António Vieira Secondary School. Both schools were built in the late 50’s of the twentieth century and were recently rehabilitated and seismically reinforced.
Also, both schools encompass secondary education and each one has aprroximatelly 1000 students.
