Oh, yes, sorry, I was meant to put the link.
It is a Swedish company and they also sell T-shirts and key rings with the same motive. I first saw them on sale at the airport in Stockholm. Should find out one day what got them onto this idea and if it sells well...

Here is the link:

And here is a screenshot of their website because it is so pretty:

I've thought about your question and could not think of any materials I had seen yet to teach children about UDDTs in a fun way.

Here is one idea: get some of these groovy cuddly toys from Sweden: I have found them a great ice breaker with adults and children alike. Throw Pee and Poo around in the audience... children love it.

Then there are those cartoons which were also recently reproduced in the Sustainable Sanitation Practice magazine (but not specific for children):

Mexico example:

Poo from Sourabh Padke:

And then there are the materials from the GTO My School Loo. These were not specific for urine diversion but they were set up to ensure that nothing would speak against reuse later. This means, not the poo was demonised but the pathogens inside of the poo.

So, sorry, I could not help you much. But perhaps this post will bring others into action to share their ideas and experiences. And it might also be "enough" so that you share your ideas with us.

WASH United uses games, fun, sport stars and strictly positive messages to educate kids about the importance of sanitation and hygiene.
for example there is the World Toilet Cup game, in which the students have to score the brown football (symbolizing poo) into the holes (symbolizing the toilet hole) = Put the poo into the loo.

we are planning to work now together with Sanergy in Nairobi ( ) in some schools. Because Sanergy builds UDDTs, we want to expand our curricula to train kids with fun how to separate number 1 and number 2 ?

in order not "re-invent the wheel" - do you use any games in school or community work for UDDTs?

My name is Ananya and I'm the WASH-in-Schools manager for WASH United India, an award winning international nonprofit, with presence in India, Africa, & Germany, that pioneers the use of the use of sport star ambassadors, interactive educational games, and innovative campaigning formats to promote toilets & hand-washing hygiene and to facilitate behavior change.

WASH United India is on its way to becoming THE innovation powerhouse for sanitation & hygiene in India and launching breakthrough programs in sanitation education, awareness, & advocacy.

In 2012, we launched the hugely successful The Great WASH Yatra (www.nirmalbharatyatra.org / www.facebook.com/TheGreatWashYatra) in India - a mega sanitation & hygiene carnival with innovative WASH-themed games, performances, & labs. The carnival traveled 2000 kilometers across rural India and was a huge success: reaching 230 million people through media. Our partners on this campaign included organizations such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, GIZ, Water Aid.

Our 2013 strategy comprises of a set of innovative high-impact programs in partnership with innovators, researchers, donors, government agencies, & grassroots nonprofits. These programs include

The WASH Design Lab: A multi-disciplinary innovation lab that creates new games, learning materials for WASH and gives them away for free to other nonprofits
Great WASH Carnival (Nirmal Gram Mela): A pop-up traveling carnival that travels round the year in rural India and communicates the importance of sanitation & hygiene through exciting games & performances
WASH Cricket League: A cricket league in urban slums & rural villages that trains kids in life-saving WASH behavior through cricket & other sports
WASH-In-Schools: A program that partners with nonprofits and provides off-the-shelf & customized WASH curriculum toolkits for use in their programs
WASH-For-India: A volunteer program that embeds volunteers in low income slum communities and rural schools to train children in appropriate sanitation & hygiene behavior.
The Poolitzer Prize: A journalism prize to incentivize more & better coverage on sanitation & hygiene in India. An extremely important initiative because toilets & *shit / poo* are considered taboo topics and are under-reported in the media
The WASH Research Lab: To enable rigorous evaluation of WASH United programs through academic partnerships and ensure continuous improvement

As part of the WASH-in-Schools program, we're looking to partner with suitable education nonprofits of the following kinds:

- Nonprofits that run their own centers or schools or anganwadis or libraries
- Nonprofits that provide curriculum augmentation to government schools, other low income schools
- Nonprofits that provide vocation training and critical life skills to at risk youth populations

While we have our own internal list, I would love to know of other suggestions from the Susana Group so that we can partner with these nonprofits and help take our life-saving behavior change curriculum to millions of children across India.

Cheers,

I can tell you that in France, there is 2 standards and I do not understand when one is used and not the other one.
first standard is 1 toilet for 10 girls and 1 toilet for 10 boys. The other one is 1 toilet for 20 girls and 1 toilets for 20 boys.
The minimum is 2 toilet with 1 for people with a handicap. If there are 3 toilet, 1 is for girls, 1 for boys and 1 for people with handicap.

This is also good to adapt toilets for people with a handicap.

What Does It Take To Scale Up Rural Sanitation?

NOW AN ONLINE LEARNING COURSE

The Water Engineering and Development Centre (WEDC) of Loughborough University, UK, in partnership with the Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) of the World Bank, has recently developed a free self-paced online course that addresses the important global challenges facing the water and sanitation sector.

The course, entitled ‘Rural Sanitation at Scale’, which is featured as a unit in WEDC's master’s (MSc) programme, is offered free-of-charge as a non-accredited professional development unit for sector professionals interested in learning more about the issues of scaling-up sanitation in rural areas.

The course is divided into three parts:

Part 1 – Lays out the challenge of scaling up rural sanitation in context, examining fundamental aspects of sanitation provision and the reasons why, upto now, the goal of sanitation at scale has proved elusive.

Part 2 – Examines the core theory of change for sustainable programmes. In particular it looks at the first two, of three, key components or pillars required for change: the creation of demand and the supply chain.

Part 3 – Continues to explore the core theory of change, focusing on the enabling environment. The unit concludes with a discussion of how the three pillars fit together and what steps are necessary to take an at-scale programme forward.

Each section takes approximately 1 hour of study time, excluding associated reading, and is delivered using a variety of media including slide presentations, film clips, animations, photography and graphics supported by selected online publications.
