Since 1993 NIPH has been managing the Slovenian Network of Health Promoting Schools (SNHPS) programme, which is coordinated regionally by 9 regional units. Today, SNHPS includes 436 educational institutions, which is 66% of all educational institutions.
The NIPH provides Health promoting Schools with regular periodic education and training on various topics of health and healthy lifestyle. It also guides and supports them in implementing health promotion in the school environment. Conducting regular periodic expert meetings, providing regular information on current issues in the field, on events, trainings and opportunities, and an annual overview of the activities carried out by Health promoting Schools in their environment are just the basic tasks of the Health Promoting Schools regional coordination.
All of the above are entry point for the implementation of the main deliverables, recommendations and good practices that are brought together under the SHE4AHA project umbrella. The existing structure and coordination of the SNHPS has facilitated the recruitment of pilot schools to participate in the project SHE4AHA, and the dissemination of all the resulting materials and other outputs of the project has been ensured and facilitated. All the SHE4AHA project recommendations and other products will be transferred through the network to Health Promoting Schools in Slovenia in the coming years.
