Geneva, Switzerland

The Swiss Network of Health Promoting Schools (SNGS), the Schools for Health in Europe Network (SHE network) and the International School Health Network (ISHN) in collaboration with education and health (b+g) and the Foundations of Global and environmental education (SBE and SUB) are pleased to invite all those concerned with education, health and sustainable development to this symposium. The international symposium is open to all who are interested in questions of health and sustainable development in school, in particular young people, stake holders in schools, researchers, NGOs and government officials.

The symposium will be preceded and followed up by on-line discussions & webinars as well as a coordinated set of presentations in the large international IUHPE conference being held immediately after this symposium. We thank IUHPE for their substantive contribution to this symposium and look firward to coordinating the two programs.

As in previous similar international symposia in Australia (2004) and Canada (2007), this symposium offers a unique opportunity for local, national and international experts to learn together. The sessions will include the practical experience of front-line practitioners as well as the observations of a wide variety of advocates and researchers.
