Taskforce 1

Dissemination and implementation of the "Good Healthy School" at international level

The focus of the "Good Healthy School" model developed in Germany and Switzerland is to improve the overall quality of education by systematically integrating safety and health into the organisational development of an educational institution (kindergarten, school, college, university). The "good healthy school" model is reflected internationally in the "Whole School Approach". Other models following this approach can enrich and improve the "good healthy school".

A working group within ENETOSH specifically dedicated to this topic aims to promote and disseminate the "good healthy school" model worldwide and to accompany the implementation of the model through research. This implementation research is to provide "practical proof" of the model. The issue of mental health in educational institutions is an integral part of the "good healthy school" model.

Core members of this working group are: Gabriele Pappai / Christian Lang, Statutory Accident Insurance Institution for the public sector in North-Rhine Westphalia (UK NRW), Germany and Prof Dr Peter Paulus, Centre for Applied Health Sciences at Leuphana University Lüneburg.
