This guide is meant for teachers and others who want to design
participatory learning activities on hygiene and sanitation. It is
divided into two parts: theory and lesson plans. The lesson plans are
organised into three sections: hygiene (including personal and food
hygiene), sanitation and water. Each section contains a series of
information sheets for planning, implementing and evaluating
participatory learning activities on a specific subject. Examples
include personal hygiene, the safe transport and handling of water,
protecting local water sources, and locally prevailing disease
transmission routes.
The guide is characterised by its participatory methodology, the
possibility of adjusting each activity to local conditions and cultures,
a combination of hygiene and health education with more formal
education goals, a focus on socio-psychological life skills such as
cooperation and mutual understanding, and the linking of learning
activities in schools, homes and communities. Activities require the
exclusive use of no- and low-cost materials which are easily available
and affordable.
Target audience: teachers and others as part of, or in addition to, their school curriculum or in work with other children aged 2 to 14.
