Objectives

Make instructions, a supporting guide for the schools to follow to implement health literacy as a whole school approach. Make the guide a promoted material through the network of health-promoting schools in Iceland and introduce it to SHE network. Purposefully reach all school children and adolescents with an important subject that will affect their decision-making throughout their lifespan.

Background

Few years ago, SHE published a fact sheet about health literacy in schools, based on the HBSC European survey. This factsheet showed the need for addressing health literacy purposefully in schools in Europe. That was a wake-up call for us in Iceland.
