As we wrapped up our final review day project, I got to learn quite a lot about the other groups’ projects as well and reflect on mine at the same time. It was interesting to see how they collated all of their information and presented their work in different forms like games, and posters and several other modules and also made us of the people around them and interacted with them in order to create a successful learning motive. I learned a lot through this project, and found myself implementing the things that I learned everyday in my life and enforcing it, especially during these trying times. If there was anything we could change about this project, it would be to conduct it in real life to an audience that could physically see our work, however, it was convenient to do it on zoom which would call for a wider and more enthusiastic audience. Conducting this module made me realise how important it is to educate not only ourselves but the people around us about health and nutrition, that it is a social responsibility for us to look after each other and ensure we lead healthy lifestyles in the present and future. After talking to an audience I understood how they didn’t quite understand how severe this issue was and how much they needed to act on it. For example, one of my friends had an irregular diet which affected her mood and another had a tooth decay due to lack of calcium in their bodies. After educating them on this issue, they understood the relevance of a proper balanced diet. Furthermore, it was also helpful to have a visual as a display for the audience to refer to as this made the project more interactive. We chose to make our zines and posters and visual as possible involving very little text as graphics are proven to have a higher recall value than just text, making it easier for the people to remember what they learned for longer periods of time and actually implement it.
