For the fourth year, the Small World Initiative® challenged students to do something about superbugs and the growing global antibiotic crisis in recognition of the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention's (CDC) Annual Antibiotic Awareness Week (November 18th-24th) and global activities from the World Health Organization and other stakeholders. During the month of November, we teamed up with the CDC, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Sociedad Española de Microbiología, and other partners to encourage students to do something about the antibiotic crisis. Superbugs are causing a global crisis, killing more than 700,000 people each year. If we do not take significant action now, superbugs will become a leading cause of death worldwide by 2050, killing more people than cancer and diabetes combined. Students from around the world and Girl Scouts answered our call to action! Check out the creative and impactful ways students are confronting one of the most pressing global challenges of our time below.
