** Announcements **
  • "El Moscas" y Los Pesticidas - Pesticide Awareness Community Theater: EPA Region 6 Announces the latest Beyond Translation outcome - Teatro "El Moscas" y Los Pesticidas (PDF) (167KB, 1 page) - an innovative approach to raising awareness about pesticide risks for farm worker families. Teatro campesino (or community theater) has proven to be one of the best ways to raise awareness about social and health issues affecting at-risk families. It educates, engages, entertains and promotes behavior change that can significantly reduce risk for participants and their families. A complete packet that includes the script, a "how to" booklet, and sample DVD will be available in the near future.
