Why work on well-being?

Children and young people develop best when they are doing well. When they feel comfortable in their own skin and can be themselves, and grow up healthy and safely in an environment full of opportunities. In short: when they experience a high level of well-being. It is therefore crucial that school is a safe environment where a healthy lifestyle is promoted. Attention to well-being is part of a healthy lifestyle.

Healthy School activities focusing on well-being

This school year, many schools will once again get to work with Healthy School to encourage healthy behaviour among pupils and students. Healthy School activities are indispensable in this process. They teach pupils and students knowledge and skills for a healthy lifestyle. For example, they learn how to deal with feelings, work together and resolve conflicts. There are also activities with a specific focus, such as preventing and addressing bullying or supporting pupils in a separation situation. Many Healthy School activities have a continuous structure, with teaching materials for several school years.

Who is the Activities Market for?
