Project: Nudging

Nursery rhymes and songs teach us the positive effect of good hygiene standards - yet it’s still a problem to get all ages (children to adults) to wash hands, at least correctly. The rest room holds a lot of possibilities to nudge the user to better hygiene standards, but the best solution when it
comes to hand-washing is not found yet. Many places a “hand-washing storyboard” (printed and laminated) next to the mirror over the sink – however, this doesn’t have the desired effect and doesn’t look very smart.

WHAT IF QUESTION
How can we nudge people to better hygiene standards?

TARGET AUDIENCES
