A Global Consensus on tackling Antimicrobial Resistance through Education

AMR education should extend beyond the natural sciences and be integrated across disciplines such as the arts, personal health, history, and human geography. Embedding AMR in diverse contexts allows children and adolescents to develop a more holistic understanding of both its underlying mechanisms and its global impact, while directly connecting the issue to their daily lives. In doing so, it can empower them to act as informed advocates of antimicrobial stewardship—both now and in the future. These young champions, in turn, can influence their peers, families, and communities, helping to drive broader, sustained behavioural change.
