A Systemic Approach to Whole School Wellness

With concerns of youth well-being on the rise, the WHO and UNESCO joined forces in 2021 to update their Global Standards for Health-Promoting Schools. Join our two-day workshop to delve into how this guidance document can help international schools pull together the different components – student voice, policy, health curriculum, safeguarding, SEL, employee wellness, and physical environment – needed to foster a school-wide culture of health and well-being.

Participants will leave feeling empowered with tools and a concrete plan to help get everyone in their community speaking the same language and working towards the same common goals.

Note: A laptop is required for these sessions.
