about

RESPECT your Health - Euroschools 2012

RESPECT your Health - Euroschools 2012 is the official community health education program of the UEFA EURO 2012.

This one-year project aims to promote a healthy lifestyle,  with a focus on smoking prevention,  responsible alcohol consumption,  healthy diet and physical activity among young people and their families in Poland and Ukraine. Through a train the trainers approach,  local institutions and NGOs in the eight UEFA EURO 2012 host cities will be empowered to activate their communities and promote good health. A guide will help coaches,  teachers,  social workers and Orlik animators use the power of football and sport to engage communities,  increase health literacy levels,  and establish a common feeling of ownership for public (sport) grounds. 

Members of every community in and around the eight host cities in Poland and the Ukraine will be able to participate in a wide range of activities linked to this unique project. RESPECT your Health offers something for everyone; young or old,  male or female,  with or without disabilities,  we encourage everybody to get involved. Through this website you can actively take part in RESPECT your Health. Go to the What’s happening in… section to see what’s going on in your local community. Find activities that suit your interests and get active! You can also track what’s happening in all the other host cities of the UEFA EURO 2012. With the RESPECT your Health News and the Community News we do our best to keep you up to date.


We wish you a wonderful time with RESPECT your Health!
