Students’ resources

A multitude of different open schooling projects can be implemented as part of this activity, such as creating a poster, flyer, video or conducting a survey or a debate. Below, you will find the guiding steps for developing a poster. Detailed instructions on how to develop other types of materials are available in the Students’ materials at Download section at the bottom of the page.

Project: Let’s spread the word about AMR – Poster (printed and digital)

General aim: To present information about AMR.

Target audience:

What is your target audience? (e.g., Farmers, hospitals, public, pharmacies, media)

Write the Content (depending on the target group):

  • What is AMR?
  • Why is it important to learn about AMR?
  • Solutions?

Steps:

  1. Read the content and decide what you want to include – Keep the text brief!
  2. Collect the visuals you are going to use (e.g., graphs, photos, infographics)
  3. You can create your own visuals. 
  4. Decide whether you are doing a digital poster using an application or a software programme or a design tool to create the poster or whether you are doing a handwritten poster or a combination of the above.
  5. If the poster is digital, then indicate the programme you are going to use.
