The ‘Germ Busting Washathon’ is set to take place on October 15, 2024. It aims to bring together school children from across the country to take part in an online hand washing lesson at the same time, in hope of setting a new record and raise awareness about the importance of hand hygiene in preventing infectious disease.
The record-breaking attempt is led by DMU microbiology and education experts, Katie Laird and Sarah Younie, whose research at DMU led to the creation of an educational brand called Germ's Journey to educate young people in the importance of washing their hands.
To date, Germs Journey has reached tens of thousands of children worldwide through books, supplying teaching resources to schools and healthcare workers, alongside interactive online platforms, games and videos, all for children to learn about germs and hygiene.
