Dear All
As many of you know, Children for Health co-creates sets of health messages for young adolescents to learn and share on many key health topics. We then turn these into posters when we can. Thousands of our free posters have
been downloaded throughout the world over the years. Take a look here..

The idea behind all our work is to empower young adolescents.
We are delighted to have received some funding to do some work on Climate Change and I am wondering if this community thinks that developing a set of 10 messages for young adolescents would be a worthwhile endeavour and if so, what might be your ideas for the key messages?
If you are interested in joining a panel of experts and practitioners to help with this then do let me know.
Best wishes
