Webinar Digital tools for school based health and well being education 1/2

Education has the power to transform the lives of children and young people. Those who receive a good quality education are more likely to be healthy, and likewise those who are healthy are better able to learn and complete their education. Health and well-being education aims to equip children and young people with knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that empower them to realize their health, well-being and dignity; develop respectful relationships; consider how their choices affect their own well-being and that of others; and understand and ensure the protection of their rights and health throughout their lives.
Today, more young people than ever before are turning to digital spaces for information on health and relationships. During the webinar, educators, health promoters, school health workers and other interested actors will learn about the potential of digital tools to complement the delivery of school-based education for health and well-being with a particular focus on sexual and reproductive health and rights. They will also learn about digital solutions for teacher preparation.
Speakers from the UNESCO Chair Global Health & Education, UNESCO Regional Office for Southern Africa and UNESCO Institute for Information Technologies in Education will address the following questions:
1. Why does health and well-being education matter and why should it be part of school curriculum?
2. Why can and should digital tools be considered for school-based health education?
3. What kind of digital solutions are there to support teachers and how can they be used?
4. What are the practical considerations of using digital tools in the classroom?
