Webinar Dynamics in School Health Promotion
2021-05-25 14:00 - 15:00 (Europe/Amsterdam)
This webinar is organised by the Schools for Health in Europe Network Foundation (SHE) and the UNESCO Chair Global Health & Education. The webinar will be held in English.

Summary:
Implementing the Health Promoting School (HPS) approach and creating change in the whole school system can be challenging, since schools are dynamic organisations. Each school operates in its own specific context and health promoting interventions should fit to that unique context. Consequently, this indicates a variety of choices when implementing the HPS approach, flexibility is thus needed. This webinar focuses on these dynamics in school health promotion. In the first part of the webinar, the variety of choices will be illustrated by different spectra on which can be navigated by researchers and practitioners. The second part will focus on research findings regarding the self-reported navigation on these spectra in 24 member countries of SHE (Schools for Health in Europe network foundation). The last part will focus on how this approach can contribute to the future of school health promotion (research). The speakers will address the following questions:

How can you deal with studying the dynamics in school health promotion?
How do countries in the European region deal with the dynamics in school health promotion?
How does this work contribute to the future of school health promotion (research)?

Speakers are:

Dr. Nina Bartelink – Researcher, Health promotion; School for Public Health and Primary Care; Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences; Maastricht University, the Netherlands
Dr. Kathelijne Bessems – Senior Researcher and Lecturer, NUTRIM School of Nutrition and Translational Research in Metabolism; Department of Health Promotion; Faculty of Health, Medicine & Life Sciences; Maastricht University, the Netherlands

One year into COVID: Prioritizing education recovery to avoid a generational catastrophe - high-level Ministerial on-line event - UNESCO Chair GHE speaking
2021-03-29 14:00 - 15:30 (Europe/Amsterdam)
As the world enters a second year living with the COVID-19 pandemic, UNESCO will convene a high-level ministerial event on 29 March to take stock of lessons learnt, the greatest risks facing education and strategies to leave no learner behind, building on the actions of the Global Education Coalition (GEC) established in March 2020 that marks its first anniversary.

The meeting will provide the global education community with a space for policy dialogue to assess lessons learnt and the most pressing current challenges, informed by the presentation of key data sets. Main participants will be Ministers of Education, high-level representatives of partners within the GEC and of sister agencies. The debate will be framed around three key topics related to:

School dropout & learning loss: what are the top policy measures taken to mitigate against school drop out? What remedial actions have been most successful so far to make up for learning loss?
Keeping schools open, prioritizing and supporting teachers: how to keep schools open as a priority and ensure a safe learning environment? How to ensure that teachers are safe, considered as frontline workers and supported to adapt to a new learning reality?
Digital transformation and the future of education: what are the key strategies for digital transformation of education systems? How can public-private partnership contribute to advancing the digital transformation? How has COVID-19 impacted the future of education?

Professor Didier Jourdan, chair holder of the UNESCO Chair Global Health & Education will deliver an opening presentation about emerging evidence on safe school reopening.
