A recently held poster-making competition organized by HOPE Initiative (www.hope.org.in) on 22nd September in which 170 artistically-inclined school students representing 36 schools took part, once again drove home the point that perceptions and emotions, rather than dry bits of medical information, often shape our attitudes towards health and its hazards.
The Governor of UP Shri BL Joshi, who graced the ceremony in Lalit Kala academy as chief guest, expressed appreciation and intrigue at the imaginative and creative ways in which students from class 6 to 12 had depicted topics ranging from “Life Style Diseases” to “Road Traffic Accidents”.Pix 2 : Shri BL Joshi surveying the posters
“Health” can be as boring a topic, if students are lectured on the virtue of eating apples, to an as amazingly exciting one if they are encouraged to research and present issues as they see through their own eyes. Sample this poster on “Life Style Diseases” by Arindam Aggarwal of Jaipuria School, which was unanimously judged the best.Pix 3: Poster on Life Style Diseases
