Objective:This study aims to engage key stakeholders in Bangladesh in the co-design of an intervention, provide evidence of the priorities, and support mutual understanding of potential challenges and constraints.

The specific objectives are as follows:
1. To collect the existing evidence on arts-based educational approaches to health promotion in urban areas of a lower middle-income country context.
2. To map the key stakeholders at the policy level, programme level and community level who can play an identifiable role in the creation, delivery, and adoption of an educational initiative.
3. To engage with the identified stakeholders and understand their perception, experience, and opinion on using creative visual arts approaches within teaching and learning in science and health.
4. To critically analyse the findings to inform future work that aims to design and develop an intervention in Bangladesh, focused on using visual arts approaches for health promotion with children in urban poor communities.
