Creating a digital chain of awareness & knowledge on animal assisted therapy!
This activity will help you develop your critical thinking, empathy towards pets by creating and bringing to light stories either as a social media story with video or as a social media post with text and image about how animals have helped you or your fellow citizens improve their health and well-being. Identifying and highlighting these stories on social media is something you can learn and as a skill can help you work in the green business sector in companies or NGOs that deal with pet welfare, pet care their rights etc.
Watch the recommended video in the resources section. Do you agree that it is important or that pets and farm animals can help by removing stress, negative emotions and helping people who are depressed? If so post the video on social media and share a story of your own or a story of someone close to you that an animal has helped them improve their wellbeing or mental health! Ask your friends and acquaintances to share your post and share their own stories motivating their own friends to do the same! Build a small chain of experience and knowledge around animal assisted therapy!
