ARC – Critical issue Module 5: Landmine awareness

In war-torn countries around the world, millions of unexploded bombs, shells, grenades, missiles, cluster munitions and other types of unexploded ordnance, commonly known as explosive remnants of war, continue to kill and maim civilians long after the guns have fallen silent. Each year, large numbers of people, mostly civilians, continue to be senselessly killed or injured.

Facilitators who have not recently trained or worked in the area covered by this resource pack should read carefully through the various topics, slides, exercises, handouts and readings before starting to plan their training activity. Please note that these materials aim to stimulate learning and discussion, and should be used in conjunction with stated policy (they do not replace it). Trainers are encouraged to adapt the module to their specific geographical or cultural context and to supplement topics with their own or locally relevant material.

The ARC resource pack provides information and training materials to strengthen individuals’ capacity to address the causes of children’s vulnerabilities, to build effective child protection systems for use in emergencies and long-term development, and to ensure that no activities inadvertently compromise children’s rights or safety.
