July in Review & Science : World AMR Awareness Week 2024

 




World AMR Awareness Week 2024

https://www.who.int/campaigns/


WAAW is celebrated from 18-24 November every year. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasingly serious threat to global public health that requires action across all government sectors and society. It has significant impacts on human and animal health, food production and the environment.



credits: WHO


  • Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines, making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death. 


  • As a result of drug resistance, antibiotics and other antimicrobial medicines become ineffective and infections become increasingly difficult or impossible to treat.






Drug-resistant-pathogens pose a threat to everyone, everywhere. Yet, much more can be done to raise public and stakeholder awareness.

Key objectives:

 

One of the key objectives of the plan is to improve awareness and understanding of AMR through effective communication, education and training.


  • Theme 2024: “Educate. Advocate. Act now.” 


The theme for the World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW) 2024 is “Educate. Advocate. Act now.” This theme was chosen based on feedback from an online survey among stakeholders from the human, animal, plant, and environmental health sectors, which collected nearly 200 responses. Globally much more can be done to raise public and stakeholder awareness.  


https://www.emro.who.int/


  • Education

Teachers can include into Science curriculum this campaign to students and motivate them to participate at the campaign following the guide to support WAAW 2024


This campaign guide offers key information and ideas on how you and your students can join and participate in the commemoration of WAAW


It serves as a resource inspiring and guiding you and your students developing activities that address the impact of AMR on our world. 


The guide includes the campaign theme, calls to action, how to participate, social media information and links to various campaign resources. 


WHO hopes it will inspire teachers and students in Science curricula to develop their own local activities. This support is crucial to the success of this campaign.







  • Activities: For young people and student groups

Reach out to policymakers with real-life AMR stories and bold statements on the need to preserve the effectiveness of antimicrobials for future generations. 


Lead awareness-raising activities: 


  • Organize educational events such as : walks, talks, competitions, workshops and seminars within your communities. 


  • Raise AMR awareness in other schools and show the linkages to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), vaccines, pollution, climate change, gender equality, among other important issues. 


  • Raise awareness through social media campaigns: Share examples of advocacy work and learnings to inspire other students and schools in your country or in coordination of European schools to become AMR champions.


  • Collaborate on research projects: Engage in or support research projects that focus on finding solutions to this pressing crisis. 


And now, time to share with you the rundown of the most read posts in July.

Schools : Science - Rise of the Half Moon celebration... with a game ?

 





Google doodle Rise of the Half Moon


Wow ! A game to learn science and lunar phases ?!

Since the Google Doodle popcorn game, we haven't gotten a fun game in a little while ... until now.



Google Doodle Rise of the Half Moon

Exploration of moon character


Some important information: 

Did you know that the half moon is scientifically known as the Quarter moon? People casually refer to the Quarter moon as half moon because it appears like half the moon is present but, in fact, only a quarter of the moon is illuminated


Following the first Quarter moon, the moon enters its Waxing Gibbous phase, becoming brighter and brighter until the next full moon. And following the last Quarter moon, the moon enters its Waning Gibbous phase, darkening into a New moon.


What is the Waking Gibbous phase ?


The Waxing Gibbous phase is when the lit-up part of the Moon grows from 50.1% to 99.9%. It starts just after the First Quarter Moon and lasts until the Full Moon.

Waxing means that it is getting bigger, while gibbous refers to the oval-to-round shape.




Google doodle Rise of the Half Moon


Education: 


Students love games. And games are important to learn differently some subjects. For example, the lunar cycle.

Teachers will invite the students to enter on Google doodle page of 24 October 2024.

This  recurring card game invites students to play against the moon to test their knowledge of the lunar cycle.

Rise of the Half Moon is a strategy card game that celebrates the half moon point in October's lunar cycle.

This interactive Doodle celebrates October's final Half Moon.

Activity:


Students will click the Doodle to join the celestial card game where players must connect the phases of the lunar cycle to earn points and against the October Half Moon.

  • Games in the classroom:


This Doodle game is called Rise of the Half Moon, and it's one of those interactive card games. The doodle unveiling a card game that will return every month with new features to unlock.

The game coincides with October's half-moon phase, while future iterations will presumably return for half-moon phases in other months.

The game has players squaring off against the Half Moon in a card-matching game, with multiple ways to build up points.

One way of creating a match and earning a point is to pick a card that's identical to the one already played, e.g. placing a waxing crescent to match a waxing crescent. This is a 'phase pair'.

Another way is to pick a card that matches the opposite phase to the one already played, e.g. a waxing crescent to match a waning gibbous. This is a 'full Moon pair'.

And the third way is to insert a card that fills in a missing piece of the lunar phase sequence, e.g a waxing crescent between a new Moon and a first quarter Moon. This is a 'lunar cycle'.

Win three levels against the 'computer' and you've won the game! The first level is played on a 3x3 board, then level two on a 4x3, and the levels get increasingly bigger thereafter.



  • The premise is simple: 


Students play against an artificial opponent and get cards to play with different phases of the moon. 

They get points if they match cards next to each other, or if their cards "create" a full moon. They also get points for creating a lunar cycle.

The Doodle can be played on the Google homepage during October 24, but once it's gone, we'll be looking out for the next iteration sometime in November.

You can play by simply going to the Google homepage and clicking on the play button on the Google logo.

June in Review & International Day of the Girl : #HerEducationOurFuture






Day of the Girl 2024
credits: UNESCO



Day of Girls and the International Day of the Girl is celebrated on 11 October. The first International Day of the Girl Child was observed in 2012. The year 2024 marks the 12th anniversary celebration of IDG.


Today’s generation of girls is disproportionately affected by global crises of climate, conflict, poverty and pushback on hard won gains for human rights and gender equality. Too many girls are still denied their rights, restricting their choices and limiting their futures.

Yet, recent analysis shows that girls are not only courageous in the face of crisis, but hopeful for the future. Every day, they are taking action to realize a vision of a world in which all girls are protected, respected and empowered.

But girls cannot realize this vision alone. They need allies who listen to and respond to their needs.





credits: UN Women


  • Theme 2024:

"Girls' vision for the future."


This year’s theme, Girls’ vision for the future,” seeks to empower girls, amplify their voices and support their agency to shape strategies and policies that ensure a better future for us all. Despite progress, 122 million girls remain out of school.










Despite progress, 122 million girls remain out of school. It is time to listen to girls, to invest in proven solutions that will accelerate progress towards a future in which every girl can fulfil her potential.


  • Key data on girls and women’s right to education

Many girls and women cannot exercise their right to education due to gender inequality and discriminatory practices. Poverty, early marriage, and gender-based violence are just some of the reasons behind the high percentage of out-of-school and illiterate girls and women globally.


""Even without legal barriers, many structural factors can hinder girls’ education, development and civic participation. To achieve gender equality in education across the globe, we must sustain our efforts, equipping girls with tools and fostering environments conducive to their success."


Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO
