Health and well-being are fundamental to peace and prosperity, both on individual and collective levels. During adolescence, young people begin to encounter a wide range of risks to health and well-being that they will face into adulthood. However, they often do not have the tools and support to do so successfully. Complex health issues such as substance abuse and nutrition often have their roots in habits learned while young, while global health problems ranging from asthma to HIV/AIDS continue to escalate. Adolescents need to learn about a wide range of risks from protecting themselves to how health risks manifest in different parts of the world.
In partnership with Mercy Corps, Health Matters is an interactive, pilot educational videoconference program for high school students. Through it, GNG will bring young people from the U.S. and the Middle East on a virtual journey that equips students with a cross-cultural perspective on matters vital to health and well being. Topic areas range from fitness to nutrition to public health and peer pressure. This program will complement what these students are already learning in their health, science and social studies classes. Students will discuss vital health issues together, along with GNG health correspondents, and learn about different health risks and attitudes in both the U.S. and the Middle East. As a result, young people will become inspired to actively involve themselves in sustainable, healthy lifestyles due a social action project.
In this hour, students from across the U.S. will begin to engage in an interactive dialogue about health well-being/wellness – building on what they have been discussing in the on-line forum. These young people will focus on the five key health and wellness dimensions: social, physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual. Furthermore, students will explore, with the assistance of noted health correspondent, Joanne Colan, what health and well-being means to them as individuals, as well as members of the larger global community.
Each program lasts one hour.
