Ilustrado por Leonardo Palencia Puerto.

Abstract

This document shows the results of the research project “Buscando Remedio”, an educational intervention around the rational use of medications that was applied in tenth grade students of a district educational institution in the city of Bogotá D.C. This document summarizes the practical background, as well as the theoretical basis of the project. The methods used during the design and execution of the intervention are reported, as well as the results obtained from the sessions. The project resulted in a pilot training program that applies a novel methodology, leveraging the tools of community cinema and game-based learning to learn relevant public health messages as well as technical and practical knowledge in a simple way. The students demonstrated to be more receptive to learning about the rational use of medications, taking an active role in the creation of audiovisual pieces and disseminating this information in media frequented by their peers
