Epilepsy affects people of all ages but is more common in young children. Unfortunately, there is a lack of understanding and knowledge surrounding epilepsy, particularly in primary school-aged children. To address this gap in understanding, we are carrying out educational activities designed to raise awareness and understanding of epilepsy in primary schools.

The objective of the educational activity is to provide primary school-aged children with a basic understanding of epilepsy and the impact it can have on a person’s life. The activity also provides children with the knowledge and skills to better support a friend or classmate who lives with epilepsy.
