Oral Health Art and VR Workshop for Rural Schools in Nigeria

The Oral Health Art and VR Workshop aims to creatively educate rural Nigerian children about the importance of oral hygiene in a fun, engaging way. Tooth decay is nearly 100% preventable with proper oral care habits - yet many underserved rural communities lack access to dental professionals and prevention education.

This innovative program brings oral health literacy directly into rural primary school classrooms through an immersive, full-day workshop. By meeting children in their familiar learning environments, it creates a more welcoming atmosphere for effective lessons.

The workshop combines hands-on art activities with cutting-edge virtual reality technology. Children will learn proper brushing and flossing techniques by experiencing them first-hand in a gamified VR simulation. They'll then reinforce those lessons by creating their own artworks promoting good oral hygiene habits.

Art facilitators and dental professionals will collaborate to guide the student participants aged 5-18 through each creative component. All materials like paints, brushes, and VR headsets will be provided to ensure full engagement.

Beyond instilling crucial oral care knowledge, the program nurtures children's creativity and self-expression. The artworks will be displayed at the school as bright reminders of healthy habits.

This multifaceted workshop addresses a critical healthcare need through an innovative, culturally-relevant approach tailored to rural communities. It empowers the next generation with the skills and passion for lifelong oral wellness.
