Conjunctivitis Awareness Video (1).mp4The Conjunctivitis Awareness Project aimed to educate the school community about this common eye infection, which can cause significant irritation and disrupt daily activities. The initiative focused on raising awareness about conjunctivitis, its causes, prevention methods, and the importance of seeking medical attention when necessary. Eye-catching posters were strategically placed in high-traffic areas such as the cafeteria, game area, and school corridors. These posters featured clear illustrations of conjunctivitis symptoms and simple, actionable steps to prevent its spread. To ensure accessibility, the posters were translated into relevant languages, enabling the message to reach a broader audience. The project’s primary goals were to reduce the spread of infection by promoting improved hygiene practices, help students recognize symptoms early, and encourage them to seek appropriate medical care. By minimizing the chances of a conjunctivitis outbreak, this initiative empowered individuals to take proactive steps in managing their eye health, ultimately fostering a healthier and more informed school community.
As part of the Conjunctivitis Awareness Project, students actively engaged in various activities to ensure the message reached as many people as possible. They conducted interactive sessions during breaks, where they explained the causes and symptoms of conjunctivitis and demonstrated proper hygiene practices, such as washing hands frequently and avoiding touching the eyes.
Through this project, students developed several key learning outcomes. They demonstrated initiative by identifying the need for awareness about conjunctivitis and creating a comprehensive plan to address it. The project also required collaboration as students worked together to design posters, organize sessions, and communicate effectively with the school community. Lastly, they showed commitment by consistently engaging in activities throughout the project and responsibility as they took on the role of educating others about important health practices.
Testimony
"Participating in our school's conjunctivitis awareness project was super enlightening. We designed posters featuring different types of the disease, highlighting ways to prevent it and busting common myths. From viral to bacterial conjunctivitis, we stressed the importance of washing hands and avoiding eye-rubbing. Our posters didn't just inform; they empowered us to tackle conjunctivitis head-on."
