The health of children and adolescents has, for decades, been a topic of interest in most parts of Europe. The World Health Organization (WHO) and UNESCO have sup-ported various campaigns and health programmes. The European Union (EU) and the European Commission (EC) funded several projects dealing with the promotion of health and physical activity in these age groups. Many of these projects have been focussed on the school setting and especially on the subject of Physical Education (PE). One approach is to enhance students’ health awareness through modified PE class and other physical or sports activities at school. A recent example of such an innovative approach is the project Health(a)ware: An experienced-based learning and teaching approach for physical and health education (project number: 128737-CP-1-2006-1-DE-COMENIUS-C21) funded by the EC in the Socrates program, Comenius 2.1 action – Training of School Education Staff – with a focus on secondary schools. As a part of the Lifelong Learning Programme of the EU, the aim of Comenius is to support young people in the acquirement of life skills and competencies important for their individual development as a European citizen.
