European project PHILIP begins pilot phase in Portugal
The PHILIP consortium has developed a set of training modules to promote health literacy among children and young people between 11 and 15 years old, which will now be tested in different schools. These are intended to be an educational tool in health education, with tips and interactive and innovative resources. In Portugal, the pilot is being implemented by Cáritas Coimbra, in the Group of Schools of Lousã (Agrupamento de Escolas da Lousã), with 9th grade classes. In this initial phase, feedback from students and teachers has been very positive.
The PHILIP project aims to promote health literacy among children and young people between 11 and 15 years old and to train teachers and educators through awareness-raising activities literacy and the creation of educational materials.
