ACTIONS FOR PREVENTION

The Chau Mosquito Campaign promotes prevention actions and strategies in the localities with which it works and articulates.

Through the Good Practices Contest, participants are encouraged to develop prevention actions in their communities that are then disseminated to strengthen and inspire good practices in other areas and places.

The Campaign also carries out a contest for schools and educational areas.

Description:

We organize the proposal into three main sections. We began with informative talks about the disease, the life cycle of the vector, favorite breeding sites and control methods. Then we held a practical section whose objective was to raise awareness through interaction with biological material, so that participants would be able to recognize, in their own homes or spaces, the vector in its different phases of development. The third section was implemented at a later stage, after the Chau Mosquito campaign material came to our attention. Cards related to the content of the talk were chosen and the suggested methodology was applied.
