Summary
The health and social determinants of the health of children, adolescents, and young people should be a matter of great relevance and high priority in our countries. In this topic we value the contribution and the conceptual, political and operational scope of the global and regional movement of School Health Promotion. Latin America has made significant progress and great experience in the development of new initiatives for School Health Promotion. At this time we wish to take stock of the achievements and outline plans and actions for the future. Some of the questions and reflections of this webinar are:
- How relevant is it to outline the regional agenda in School Health Promotion (PSE) at the regional level?
- What affirmative steps are being taken at this time to strengthen PSE at the regional level?
- What should be the political, structural and programmatic priorities to configure the regional PES agenda?
