1. THE PIRATE
Established in 2005, the Regional Intervention Platform for the Americas and the Caribbean (PIRAC) is the representative delegation of the French Red Cross (CRF) for the Caribbean region, based in Guadeloupe, and serves as its operational mechanism for humanitarian action and regional cooperation. PIRAC provides assistance to Caribbean populations during all major disasters and works to develop capacity-building initiatives to strengthen the resilience of populations in French territories, as well as in the countries of the Caribbean arc and the Guiana Shield.
2. THE “FOK NOU PARÉ” PROJECT
Since 2019, PIRAC has been developing tools to raise awareness of natural hazards and best practices to strengthen risk awareness in the French Antilles. Since early 2026, a project called “Fok Nou Paré,” funded by the Regional Directorate for the Environment, Planning and Housing (DEAL), has aimed to develop a risk awareness culture among the population to better prepare them to respond to major hazards and climate change by promoting appropriate behaviors through fun and participatory educational approaches.
This project has two outcomes:
R1: Students in cycle 3, from schools located in priority education zones of the CACEM are made aware of protection measures against risks affecting the territories by trained and equipped teachers.
R2: Risk reduction stakeholders are actively collaborating on the project to ensure that education and prevention of natural risks for the Martinique population is a priority for the territory.
The project targets the Martinican population, with a focus on primary school students (grades 4 and 5) and middle school students (grade 6). While the project is specifically aimed at school children, it ultimately aims to reach the entire population, across all communities. This initiative is part of the second outcome of the Fok Nou Paré project, which aims to design and produce educational tools to raise awareness of major natural hazards in Martinique.
3. OBJECTIVES OF THE SERVICE
a. Objective of the service The objective of this service is to design two educational tools: a board game entitled Risk Péyi Matinik and a paper fortune teller, based on existing games developed in Guadeloupe. These tools are intended to raise awareness among target audiences about the main natural hazards present in Martinique, as well as the behaviors to adopt before, during, and after a disaster, through a participatory, fun, and educational approach that promotes learning through play, ensuring that younger audiences are engaged and that the prevention messages are remembered.
These games should allow you to:
- to facilitate the understanding of natural hazards present in the Martinique territory;
- to promote the adoption of appropriate actions to take before, during and after a disaster;
- to offer an attractive and readily usable animation tool for awareness campaigns.
b. Target audiences for the service
The “Risk Péyi Matinik” educational game kit and the paper fortune teller are primarily intended for the general public:
- Children aged 7 and over.
- General public including all of the following age groups: children, teenagers, young adults, adults, seniors.
Although designed for use with the entire population, “Risk Péyi Matinik” and the paper fortune teller will need to be particularly adapted to encourage the engagement of children and teenagers, while remaining fully mobilizable during awareness stands, educational activities, public events and actions conducted by PIRAC in conjunction with the Territorial Delegation of the French Red Cross in Martinique and its partners in Martinique.
c. Benefit Description
During the project, participants will be asked to design an educational game called “Risk Péyi Matinik” and a paper fortune teller, based on an adaptation of educational tools developed in Guadeloupe as part of the Paré pa Paré program. The content will be provided by the French Red Cross, based on an adaptation carried out with the support of technical and educational partners in Martinique.
The service will cover the main natural hazards present in Martinique, including:
- the earthquake;
- the tsunami;
- the hurricane;
- the flood;
- ground movements;
- the volcanic eruption;
- le lahar;
- climate change.
The service must take into account:
- the specific characteristics of natural hazards in Martinique;
- the institutional frameworks in force (ORSEC plan, Météo-France vigilance, PPRN, DDRM, DICRIM);
- local geographical, social and cultural realities;
- the consistency of prevention messages across the territory;
- the educational requirements enabling us to offer an accessible, attractive and non-anxiety-inducing tool, capable of capturing the attention of the general public, especially younger people.
Particular attention will be paid to:
- the readability and clarity of the content;
- the simplicity of the language used;
- inclusiveness of media;
- the progressive consideration of accessibility, in particular according to the principles of Easy-to-Read and Understand (FALC).
The service includes layout, graphic harmonization, round-trip validation, and preparation of all files ready for printing.
d. Expected deliverables
