Hello :)

Hey everyone,

my name is Cindy and I signed up here, because of a university project of mine. It is my wish to create an informational exhibition about diabetes. It adresses children in the age of 5 to 15. I hope I am also welcome in this forum, even though i'm not acutally an diabetes patient.

Best,
Cindy

Sounds interesting Cindy. Tell a bit more, for instance what sort of information do you intend to include? How do you plan to set it up?

Hey Alison,

first off I am collecting all kinds of information that children would seek. For example the symptoms and the reasons of diabetes. How a healthy life can look like and how to react to the diagnosis of diabetes. It is all supposed to be presented in a very simple and colorful way in order to make it attractive for children to visit. I want to include games and maybe some experiements.

I also would love to gather some quotes and advice from affective families.

The whole thing is supposed to be really mobile. I want to rent an exhibiton-tent (e.g. like those kinds) in order to have the exhibiton to travel around at different schools. I would simple put it up on the schoolyard and try to include it in the curriculum of the schools. I already talked to some middle schools and they were very interested in my idea.

So in this forum I would love for some of you to share their story, especially if your child is in the age of the target group 🙂

Let me know, if you need further information.

Best Cindy
