One Health Day at AHHAA Science Center in Tartu

On November 16, 2024, the OH-BOOST team joined the vibrant atmosphere of the AHHAA Science Center in Tartu to host a memorable One Health Day. Visitors came for AHHAA’s exciting exhibits and activities but stayed to discover our hands-on workshops and engaging lectures, which explored the deep connections between the health of humans, animals, and the environment.

Children and adults alike had a blast observing microbes under microscopes, experimenting with infection-spreading games, and learning the importance of handwashing through creative activities. Thought-provoking lectures was designed to shed light on zoonotic diseases and the role of viruses in outbreaks, sparking curiosity.

As a sweet finishing touch, everyone left the event with something in hand—whether it was a craft they made during the workshops or fresh apples as part of our rewards.

The event wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible efforts of our dedicated team, including Radko Avi, Kristi Huik, Marina Loch, Arina Sablinskaja, Dulmini Nanayakkara Sapugahawatte, Mati Roasto, Kristi Praakle, Suranga Kodithuwakku and many more. Each of them played a vital role in organizing, presenting, and ensuring that every visitor had a great experience.

A special thank you goes to the AHHAA team, who not only helped with organizing and logistics but also captured the concept of One Health beautifully in a fantastic video. Their support and enthusiasm made the event even more enjoyable.
