De Warmste Week 2025 🔥
Our project
'The (in)visible backpack': an awareness campaign about the physical and mental burden of living with type 1 diabetes
With the campaign 'The (in)visible backpack' we make visible the burden that people with type 1 diabetes carry every day. We want to correct the mistaken idea that type 1 diabetes is your own fault; nobody chooses this extra backpack.
The backpack stands for the constant physical, mental and social challenges, and for the countless choices that people with type 1 diabetes make every day.
Through social media, on television, in public spaces and at an event on World Diabetes Day, we focus on recognition, understanding and openness. Through education, visibility and dialogue we want to clear up misunderstandings, break taboos and deepen understanding of type 1 diabetes.
