Yesterday, UDUYARS held the first-ever AMR Art Exhibition in Sokoto.
The program used creativity from among youths and secondary school students to communicate AMR. It showcased how drama, painting, poetry, drawing, calligraphy, spoken words, and other art elements could be used to communicate AMR.
While science might be boring for most people, art is a simple, clear, creative, and beautiful way to communicate. We had over 100 secondary school students and university students showcasing their creativity through drawing, poetry, drama, song, and paintings to define what AMR is and what is needed to prevent it.
Kudos to all the talented students, teachers, and colleagues who made this event a resounding success.
We appreciate the management of Brilliant Footsteps Int'l Academy, Blue Crescent Schools, and Federal Government College Sokoto for honouring us with their creative learners. We also celebrate the winners of the AMR Art Exhibition, and we hope they continue to use art to inspire behavioural change against the growing threats of antimicrobial resistance.
Additionally, we thank our partners, Book O'clock and Usmanu Danfodiyo University Student One Health Innovation Club (UDUSOHIC), for their dedication and incredible support towards this important project.
Together, let's continue harnessing art's power to raise awareness about AMR and inspire positive change.
Below are some pictorial highlights of the event.
