Level 1 — Basics of awareness-raising and direct communication
Breaking the ice with the audience, introducing public health basics and ways to deliver simple health messages to small groups in a friendly setting.
You are a health volunteer at a community tent during a local festival. Your goal is to encourage families to swap sugary snacks for fruit. You meet a father who seems busy keeping an eye on his children as they consume large amounts of sweets.
You are visiting an administrative office to provide quick tips on dehydration and the importance of drinking water. You meet an employee busy at her desk and notice several empty coffee cups next to her without a single water bottle in sight.
You are at a nursery to give a short awareness lesson on personal hygiene. You are trying to capture the attention of a teacher who seems skeptical that 4-year-olds can grasp the concept of 'germs'.
You are participating in a health day at a retirement community center. You are trying to encourage an elderly man to start light walking for 10 minutes a day, but he believes that sports are only for young people.
You are managing an awareness booth in the university lobby, surrounded by brochures about sleep quality. A student approaches you looking extremely exhausted and holding an energy drink, believing that staying up all night is the only way to succeed.
Level 2 — Debunking common misconceptions
Using scientific evidence to correct common unhealthy habits, with a focus on body language and a persuasive tone.
While giving a lecture at a gym, an attendee interrupts, insisting that consuming large amounts of sugar before a workout is essential for energy and causes no harm. You must correct this misconception using scientific facts about the glycemic index and the 'insulin crash' effect following a spike, all while maintaining an encouraging rather than critical tone.
During an awareness seminar at a community center, an elderly woman insists that antibiotics are the only way to quickly cure her grandchildren of the seasonal flu. You must explain the difference between viral and bacterial infections and the risks of antibiotic resistance, while showing respect for her life experience through your body language.
You are at a healthy cooking workshop, and a local chef is defending the use of refined and hydrogenated oils over healthy fats, citing cost and taste. You must provide a scientific comparison regarding trans fats and their impact on heart disease, using a firm and persuasive tone in front of the audience.
During an open session at a health fair, a visitor asks about the effectiveness of 'detox' drinks promoted on social media to cleanse the body of toxins in days. Your task is to explain the scientific functions of the liver and kidneys in eliminating toxins and clarify that these drinks are a marketing gimmick with no scientific basis.
At a parent-teacher meeting, a father argues that letting his children use tablets before bed helps them 'calm down' and fall asleep faster. You must explain the effect of blue light on the melatonin hormone and the scientific sleep cycle, focusing on effective eye contact to convey the seriousness of the matter.
Level 3 — Designing visual awareness content
You are delivering an awareness lecture on childhood vaccines in a remote village. The audience consists of parents who are wary of complex scientific terminology. The mayor asks you to simplify the charts in your presentation because they seem confusing to the attendees; you must convince them of the vaccine's effectiveness using simplified visuals.
You have been invited to give a lecture to tech company employees who spend long hours behind screens. The visual content you prepared focuses on eating habits and physical activity. The HR manager interrupts you because the images only focus on healthy food that is difficult to provide in the office, and demands visual solutions that fit their fast-paced lifestyle.
You are on a high school stage delivering a visual presentation on the harms of vaping. A disruptive student argues that your images are "outdated" and don't look like the modern devices they use. You must immediately adjust your visual narrative to prove you are up-to-date with technical developments and that the risks are real.
At a community center for retirees, you are showing a demonstration video for stretching exercises. One lady complains that the presenters in the video are young people performing movements that are impossible for someone in their seventies. You must explain how to visually adapt those images to suit their physical abilities without making them feel inadequate.
You are leading a workshop for new volunteer paramedics. The illustrations you are using include realistic, bloody scenes to train them for shock. One volunteer expresses extreme discomfort and suggests using infographics instead of real photos to avoid feeling nauseous during the learning process.
Level 4 — Strategies for dealing with a skeptical audience
Running seminars that face objections or resistance to change, and using negotiation skills to convince people who reject healthy behaviors.
You are moderating an awareness seminar at a community center about the importance of the flu vaccine for the elderly. An attendee sharply interrupts, claiming the vaccine is a 'for-profit conspiracy' by pharmaceutical companies and that it causes illness instead of preventing it. You must manage the confrontation calmly and regain the audience's trust without getting into a personal conflict.
You are conducting a workshop on reducing the consumption of sugar and hydrogenated oils for a group of heads of households. You face strong resistance from a woman who insists that healthy eating is too expensive and unpalatable, and that it is just a "luxury" that doesn't suit the middle class. You must use negotiation skills to offer realistic solutions.
You are at a health seminar regarding the risks of secondhand smoke in the home. An attendee argues that it is their right to smoke in their own home and that studies exaggerate the harm to children. You must convince the other party of the need to change their behavior to protect others without infringing on their privacy.
You are lecturing on the importance of early breast cancer screening in a rural area. Resistance stems from embarrassment, social stigma, and the fear of hearing "bad news." One of the attendees tries to incite others to leave, claiming this is a "bad omen" and there is no need to dig for trouble.
During a seminar on the importance of consulting professionals when feeling depressed, an attendee confronts you, claiming that mental illnesses are just a "lack of faith" or an exaggeration from a spoiled younger generation, and that the only solution is religious devotion, not medication or therapy sessions.
Level 5 — Interactive health education (learning by doing)
Running hands-on workshops with physical activities and live demos to teach prevention and living with chronic illness.
You are organizing an interactive workshop at a youth sports center. You have brought soda cans, juices, a sensitive scale, and sugar cubes. The challenge is to have attendees guess and physically represent the actual amount of sugar in each product before revealing the shocking truth to motivate them to change their habits.
In a workshop for seniors recently diagnosed with diabetes, you distribute simulation tools (blurred goggles to represent vision impairment, and thick gloves to represent loss of sensation in limbs). The goal is to teach them how to check their feet and use the glucose meter despite these physical challenges.
You are leading a 'Dish of the Day' activity for a group of private sector employees. You have brought plastic models of various food types (proteins, carbs, vegetables) and asked them to build their favorite meals, which you then adjust in front of them to explain the concept of proper portion sizes.
In a workshop on heart health, you ask attendees to participate in a physical activity representing the circulatory system, where some wear clothes representing oxygen and others represent blockages (fats). You must manage the activity so participants feel how smoking and fat affect blood flow.
An activity designed for mothers to teach them how to handle sudden asthma attacks in children. You are using medical mannequins and training inhalers (without medication). The situation requires you to lead the mothers in applying first aid steps correctly and calmly under the simulated pressure of a crying child.
