Beginning in 2014, Susan Landgren, a US-based Registered Dietitian, set out to create materials to educate the public about diabetes, hypertension, and adult learning, in coordination with Medical Teams International. The result was the Diabetes Message Programme, and the Active Learning Workshop. The Diabetes Messages Programme is designed to raise awareness of lifestyle prevention and control of diabetes. The programme can be led by Health Promoters or Health Professionals in community meetings and classroom settings. Included are: three interactive lessons, three drama-based lessons, handout materials and more. The Active Learning Workshop teaches instructors how they can effectively present any topic.
The materials are available in English and Spanish, and can be adapted to other languages and cultures as needed. The materials are free for use with attribution to Ms. Landgren.
