The Planetary Health Piñata Project

The Planetary Health Piñata Project is art-based public health intervention to engage youth and the community at large on policy, systems and environmental changes that can improve health outcomes.

Each piñata, some made individually and some by teams, represent community issues and themes associated with planetary and human health.
