Have we used art / painting to get hygiene messages across?

Qasir Rafiq (Global Youth Ambassador at A World at School, Pakistan - aworldatschool.org) on Twitter has asked the following...

"I am designing a project WASH in Schools having a theme "Art for Behavior Change" should create a social change.

In this project initially 1000 schools will be painted with 5 hygiene key messages with the help of youth. This way we can decrease the death toll in Asia especially. initially I would love to execute this project in Kashmir as well as in Pakistan.

I want to know how I would involve WaterAid UK in the implementation phase and if we will make partnership for other Nations? In this project main stakeholders will be Universities and college because youth from fine arts departments will join us. Pictorial items should create a big impact in children lives as well as it will change their bad practices and behavior easily."

His email address is Gyapakistan@gmail.com

Has WA or any partners or other orgs attempted "art for behavior change"? Do we have any insight we could share? Would we be willing to discuss his plans or offer support?

I will also share this with the UK Comms Team (Emily Graham) to see if they have any thoughts on this approach.

Thanks, Joe
