EDUCATIONAL POSTERS

Our six health education posters were redesigned with the needs of youth workers worldwide in mind. The posters cover important topics such as personal hygiene, hair care, nutrition, medical attention, and baby care in a way that’s accessible and engaging for young people. To further support youth workers in teaching and reinforcing health education in a fun and interactive way, each poster is accompanied by a free game on StreetSmart Play.
