Health and educational success are closely related. Good nutrition, sufficient exercise and health-conscious behavior are prerequisites for students to feel comfortable in their learning environment and to be able to learn better. The state program “Good Healthy Schools” has been supporting schools in the state of Brandenburg since 2017 and aims to more closely interlink the quality of education and school health promotion as part of sustainable school and teaching development.
11 cooperation partners and supporters are involved: These include health and health insurance companies, health and prevention facilities, the daycare and school catering network and the Brandenburg State Sports Association. Interested schools are offered a wide range of advice and further training and at the same time materials are provided, for example in the areas of:
• healthy eating and nutrition education,
• health through exercise,
• Conflict and stress management as well as social interaction,
• Addiction prevention as well
• mental health.
In addition, the schools receive support in implementing the topic of “health promotion” in lessons. The following are available as a guide:
• the “Good Healthy School” management manual and
• the LISUM - handout for the overarching topic of health promotion.
