WHAT: Induction lesson with newly enrolled pupils and their parents about healthy lifestyles in adolescence and prevention of behavioral risks. This is how we resume the "Health Education - My Right, My Choice" campaign, initiated in the spring of this year, whereby communities and schools,  including vocational education institutions, are informed about health education, safe behaviors, prevention of violence, abuses, unintended pregnancies.

WHEN: Monday, September 3, 12.00

WHY: UNFPA Moldova supports quality health education, both in general and vocational schools, to help teenagers and young people avoid risks and realize their full potential. Especially when parents are abroad or young people are far from home, the role of school is extremely important to educate girls and boys to become healthy and positive citizens.

The "Health Education - My Right, My Choice" campaign also includes other information and awareness-raising activities at the local level, public discussions about health education with parents, teachers, community leaders, social theater plays presented by young people, events organized in schools and communities.

The campaign is part of UNFPA Moldova ‘Promoting Youth Health Education’ Project, with the support of the Embassy of the Netherlands in Bucharest, in partnership with the Ministry of Education, Culture and Research, Partnerships for Every Child, Y-PEER Moldova and PRO DIDACTICA. The activities take place in 22 localities from 5 districts: Chisinau, Cahul, Rezina, Falesti, Orhei.
