clever and healthy

Is a vegetarian or vegan diet healthy for children and teenagers? Should your child get more exercise but needs a little push? School life is often stressful and you are looking for relaxation techniques and tips to combat stress for your child? Then be sure to take a look at the new health portal clever-gesund-info. It was developed by the German Research Center for Environmental Health together with children and young people. The internet platform offers young people tips and ideas to get involved with on the topics of eating and drinking, exercise, relaxation and addiction.

When it comes to health at a young age, four key topics are particularly important: The topics of "Food and drink", "Exercise", "Addiction" and "Relaxation" each have their own chapter on the portal:

The new health portal is the centerpiece of a three-year pilot project to improve health literacy among schoolchildren. The project is being supported by the Helmholtz Zentrum München, the German Research Center for Environmental Health.

The special thing about the new health platform is that children and young people have been involved in its development from the very beginning. In various workshops at pilot schools, the creators of the portal exchanged ideas with pupils and discussed which topics are exciting for them and how health knowledge can be made attractive for young people.

There is a separate area on the platform for teachers and school social workers with instructions, materials and learning units for lessons on various health topics.
