Student led Storytelling to Teach Communities the Power of Prevention
Our organization has proudly participated in various preventive health-related projects.
Children for Health (CfH) were our Educational consultants in creating the Diabetes Poster, and the Teachers Toolkits for "Our True Colors" and "My Hero". This was to create a compelling poster & storybooks about community-specific health and wellness topics for students, ages 9 to 14.
​
The storybooks will:
Be strategically designed using the participation in action methods to spark curiosity;
Be written by students in collaboration with teachers and topic experts;
Be Illustrated by CfH’s in-house artist;
Create a depth of understanding;
Mobilize youth to become agents of change in their communities
The storybooks will have a primary story for older students and teachers, a lighter story for youth to share with younger children, and additional hands-on activities for further growth and exploration.
