Health education : a practical guide for health care projects

Health education is a key activity in any health promotion programme. Its goal is to enable everyone to make responsible choices relating to the behaviours that have an influence on their health and that of their community.

Intended to be used by solidarity workers, this book approaches several key concepts of health education, and offers a common foundation in terms of vocabulary and methodology.

This guide also develops critical thinking on the importance of integrating the sociocultural context in the development of awareness-raising tools and messages which make sense to the population. The main tools and methods used, whether they develop knowledge, social-skills or know-how, are presented in the form of practical fact sheets.
