Workshop on Prevention from Infectious Diseases

A workshop titled “Development of Educational Materials to Prevent from Infectious Diseases” was held at Alice Café starting on May 17. The program provided teachers with training on developing game-based educational materials related to dengue and COVID-19, combining public health information with practical game development.

Two experts presented information on dengue and COVID-19 before participants joined a game-designing workshop facilitated by Ruttikorn Vuttikorn. Dr. Taraman Amatya discussed dengue fever, its transmission, prevention, and treatment, while Ms. Devi Gurung Thapa addressed COVID-19. Participants then learned game design theory, reviewed sample games, and formed six teams to develop game concepts focused on COVID-19 and dengue under themes including introduction, prevention, and treatment.

The workshop provided teachers with public health knowledge and practical experience in developing educational games. The activity resulted in new concepts for infectious-disease education games and brought together expert presentations, discussion, and hands-on game design.
