Calling all Teachers and Students!
Join the Asthma Society of Ireland for an epic celebration of World Asthma Day on May 7th 2024. This year we are all about education and interactive fun.
With the theme "Asthma Education Empowers" by the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), we aim to empower YOU AND YOUR STUDENTS with the knowledge to manage asthma effectively.
Did you know that Ireland has one of the highest occurrences of asthma in Europe? Over 450,000 people are affected, including 1 in 5 kids. 50% of people living with asthma do not have their condition under control and sadly one person dies from asthma every week (an estimated 90% of these deaths are preventable).
We believe that knowledge is the key to saving lives, so we've put together an easy-to-use participation package below for your class, packed with fun activities.
On the day, we ask for a €2 donation per student to support our vital services nationwide. As a token of our appreciation, we will provide a certificate thanking you for your support.
Our last request is to join us in turning World Asthma Day 2024 into a sea of blue. Put on a blue t-shirt/jumper on the day and join us in spreading awareness with a big, loud Mexican wave! And don’t forget to capture and share the moment with those around Ireland and around the world —snap a pic or video and share it with us @AsthmaSocietyIreland
Let's make World Asthma Day 2024 the most memorable one yet.
