Spotlight on bird flu awareness in Georgia

Monday, July 30th, 2007

Children and young people in Georgia will have the chance to get an insight on avian influenza through drama lessons and performances. The project is coordinated by the Internally Displaced Persons Women’s Association ‘Consent’, with support from UNICEF Georgia. Puppet shows will be organized for around 4,000 children and around 20 theatre performances will focus on getting the message across to young people.

This mean was chosen as children are known to be very motivated to learn through theatre and play, as Nana Gogokhia, the project’s coordinator, says. The performances are meant to be interactive, so that the children are encouraged to become involved and learn by having fun. School calendars, as well as bookmarks presenting messages on influenza prevention will also be distributed in the locations where the performances take place.
