• Talks and monitored discussions to promote hand washing with soap.
• Workshops: members of the community are invited to workshops where they learn about the importance and need for proper sanitation, as well as possibilities for yield increases when safely reusing plant nutrients from the sanitation system.
• Community activities, such as games or competition for children, could be organised to present and discuss issues on sanitation.
• Popular event to launch the project by an official (Minister, Major, Parliamentary, etc.).
• Essay competitions could be organised in schools where students are invited to write about the need for proper sanitation.
• Plots could be set up, where the effects of fertiliser application with safe plant nutrients from the sanitation system are demonstrated. The plots can be set up at a school, community centre or other suitable place.
• Crop production competitions (largest yield, largest pumpkin or similar) can be organised at schools or in the community as a whole.
• Tasting events, i.e. events where the members of the community are offered the possibility to see, touch and taste crops produced with safe plant nutrients from the sanitation system.
• Posters containing information about sanitation could be placed in town centres and markets.
• Flyers could be distributed.
• Photo exhibitions highlighting good and bad sanitation practices.
• Promotion in local radio stations with talk shows (call-ins) and other publicity.
• Promotion among the private sector (private companies) to sponsor events.
• Establishing learning alliances for sharing and spreading sanitation information.
• Lobbying with religious and socio-cultural leaders.
• Study case of successful implementation of sustainable sanitation, presented orally and preferably illustrated also by photos/poster.

To raise awareness for sustainable sanitation also means to create demand for reusing the nutrients, water and energy contained in the sanitation products. Therefore, it is important that the users and other stakeholders understand from the beginning the implications of reusing wastewater, urine, compost, etc., particularly the treatment processes and logistics involved in the transport and application in the agricultural fields.

In small communities located in rural areas it might be possible to apply the products directly in the family gardens and nearby fields, which means that the community members should not only comprehend but also accept the time implications and the efforts needed in the reuse.

In dense peri-urban areas, it is not always possible to have a community approach for the management of the reuse step, which makes necessary to think holistically about the emptying, transport, treatment and application services needed for the reuse. In this case, all the stakeholders should be informed about the possible financial implications of maintaining and operating these systems with such a high manpower requirement.
