Millennium Fellowship Project: Combating Antimicrobial Resistance
Our project focuses on raising awareness about Antimicrobial Resistance and promoting behaviour change among young people. We work to help students understand what AMR is, how the misuse of antibiotics increases resistance, and the simple hygiene practices that can reduce its spread. Through school visits, interactive teaching sessions, and peer conversations, we provide students with clear and practical knowledge they can apply in their daily lives. Our overall aim is to support the reduction of behaviours that worsen AMR by equipping the next generation with accurate and useful information.
