The Swedish Agency for Work Environment Expertise (SAWEE) has produced new educational material on the work environment for pupils aged 13 to 16 years. Through theoretical and practical exercises, pupils gain knowledge of what work environment is, how to influence it and what risks and wellbeing factors at work can be.
The training material consists of six short lessons that each take 20-30 minutes to complete. The lessons are created to arouse interest and provide knowledge about the work environment through teacher-led exercises and discussions. Each lesson contains a Powerpoint Presentation with embedded videos, a teacher's guide and exercise sheets. The subjects of the lessons are: Physical and psychosocial work environment, Wellbeing and Risk factors, Digital Work Environment, The Work Environment of the Future, Create a Dream Work Environment and Examination and Work Environment Quiz.
The lesson material was financed by the work environment committee of the Nordic Council of Ministers, where SAWEE is included as part of its international mission. The complete material can be downloaded (in English) on the website.
