SHE provides various resources related to school health promotion. These resources e.g. fact sheets on different health topics, conference statements, manuals and tools, health promoting school case studies and relevant literature about health promotion in schools.
We use the “SHE approach” when working with health promotion. This includes a set of values, a specific understanding of the concept of health and an understanding of health promoting schools as schools that implement a structured and systematic plan for the health and well-being of all pupils and of teaching and non-teaching staff.
The SHE Academy is a unique opportunity to critically discuss research methodologies, analytical perspectives and dilemmas from practice in an international learning environment, with input by leading scholars and experts from the field of school-based health promotion and education.
The SHE research group consists of research institutions and their resource people with expertise, capacities and interest in further developing, exploring and testing relevant issues and approaches concerning school health promotion within the European context.
SHE is a network of countries from all over the Europe and Central Asia, represented by national and regional coordinators. They support existing and new health promoting schools in their own country and works cross borders to increase the quality of health promoting schools.
