Cúcara Mácara (Eeny meeny miney moe)
This is a series of radio programs on disaster prevention intended for children. The main character is nothing less than a cockroach! That pesky insect is an expert when it comes to surviving any disaster situation, including the effects of a nuclear catastrophe.

“Cúcara Mácara”, named after the traditional game, has many things to teach humans about the creation of a culture of disaster prevention.

The information contained in each tale is based on the principles applied by the National Commission for Risk Prevention and Emergency Response (CNE) of Costa Rica, as well as on the socio-affective methodology called “Return to Happiness”, used by UNICEF when working with children and adolescents.
