ISHN Statement on School Health, Safe Schools, Community Schools and Effective Schools
Members of the ISHN Steering Committee have sought to identify the many things that are common to several holistic approaches to school-based health promotion, social development and learning. We have identified ten important lessons or things that are common to the many models and paradigms in an ISHN Statement on School Health. Please note that this is not an attempt to develop an over-arching model. It is simply an attempt to show the similarities and differences and align the concepts.
This web site is the best place to find:
- news about school health promotion around the world
- school health contacts in countries and regions of the world as well as within international agencies and organizations
- brief reports and overviews on the current situation in countries
- descriptions on emerging trends and issues in school health
- people and partners for international school health projects and initiatives
All visitors are welcome to the general information on this website. Please send any news and other information to info@internationalschoolhealth.org and we will post it here.
We are funded by small projects and a small membership fee, so most of our activities are dependent upon volunteer work contributed by our members. For more information on how to join ISHN, read about our ISHN Member Services. ISHN works with several international agencies, including the World Health Organization, UNESCO, OECD and others. We also have developed affiliations with several international organizations and web sites. Read more about them on in the affiliated SH websites page.
