Health-Promoting Class
-Automatic translation
The Health-Promoting Class is a preventive initiative grounded in a positive approach, emphasising health promotion. Students are educated about positive methods and healthier choices. The project targets primary school students in grades 7 to 9 and aims to enhance well-being while empowering them to tackle life's challenges.
The predecessor of this initiative is the Tobacco-Free Class, which achieved significant participation nationwide and was responsible for numerous impactful projects. However, this earlier initiative primarily highlighted the negative aspects of tobacco use.
The project's objectives include, among other things, fostering increased resilience, social skills, and emotional regulation among students. The teacher introduces the project to the class and registers it for participation on the Health-Promoting Class website. Students learn about the factors that enhance well-being, choose projects to work on, and set common goals with their classmates.
Like the Tobacco-Free class, students can participate in a prize game or a final project. To qualify as a prize-winning project, it must adopt a positive approach and ensure that all students in the class are actively engaged in its implementation.
