Preparing sample animation scenarios on awareness and prevention measures of CBRN threats for 9-12 age group children

When the CBRN events that have occurred in the World from the past to the present are examined, it's easily seen that it causes social, physical and psychological destruction on society. Undoubtedly, children are the group most affected by these destructions. Although the effects of disasters on children were discussed in general as a result of the literature review made from this point of view, no study was found on CBRN threats. Even with the accelerated development of industry and technology today, the CBRN threats that we can be exposed to in every aspect of our lives have also increased. In addition to these, the existence of malicious threats (terrorism, etc.) continues and even with the technological development, CBRN class threats evolve and the risks they create are increasing day by day. As a result of the researches carried out in our study, it is tried to raise the awareness of children aged 9-12 only about chemical cleaning materials in schools, and it seems that this is insufficient to raise awareness of CBRN threats. As a result of accident or on purpose; this study was conducted in order to teach the term CBRN to our children, who are in a vulnerable position regarding the CBRN threats that we may be exposed to at any time, and to raise awareness of both themselves and their families about the existence of such a danger. It has been evaluated that the most effective way to raise awareness and consciousness of our society about CBRN threats is through the education given in childhood. Considering the persuasion abilities of children on their parents, it is anticipated that this study, which focuses on children, will raise awareness of CBRN threats not only on children, but also on their families. For this; it is suggested that the preparation of situation scenarios for children about CBRN threats, in the form of virtual games or animation videos, will be more efficient and more permanent in terms of learning, since they will use their visual memory as well as verbal memory. In addition, it has been evaluated that these scenarios prepared for visual channels will reach wider groups by making use of the interest of the z generation in technological devices. In this direction, the situation scenarios were written in such a way that children could comprehend them without causing trauma. After that; drawings were created with the illustration technique in parallel with the script text. By delivering these animations, which are prepared by considering the curiosity of the Z generation to technology, to the target audience in educational institutions as well as technological channels, future generations will both have comprehensive knowledge and experience about CBRN threats, and the generation z, who share this information with their families, will create a more conscious society.
