Bench of Health

This project identifies youth health challenges, creating practical solutions to boost health literacy for high schoolers in Sofia.

Description

Within this project, we'll host discussions on health topics featuring prominent specialists, medical professional associations, patient organization representatives, parents, teachers, and students. A "Health Bench" will symbolically unite these discussions. Our aim is to foster sustainable dialogue among institutions, young people, families, teachers, and experts to bridge gaps in health literacy and education.

We want to spark greater interest in healthy lifestyles among more young people and encourage their civic engagement in decision-making processes related to health and civic education. We'll also ensure young people have access to useful and practical health information.

Example discussion topics include:

  • Obesity: The Number One Problem Among Students
  • Nutrition at the Heart of Our Health: "You Are What You Eat"
  • Movement: Key to Our Health
  • Our Eyes: A Window to the World
  • Stress in Childhood and Adolescence
  • Sexual Life and Sexual Health
  • Harmful Habits and Addictions
