About - I learn for Health!

The challenge

While health education is recognised as a key element of school curricula, many education systems still face challenges in delivering it effectively. Teachers often lack the tools and methods needed to make health-related topics accessible, relevant, and engaging for young learners.

At the same time, children today are increasingly exposed to complex challenges such as rising childhood obesity, internet and screen addiction, bullying, and unhealthy interpersonal relationships. These issues affect not only their physical health but also their mental well-being, emotional resilience, and social development.

There is a clear and growing need for modern, interactive, and inclusive educational approaches that help students understand and navigate these challenges.

The aim

The main aim of the iLearn4Health project is to enhance health education for children aged 6–12 by equipping primary school teachers with modern, engaging educational tools based on Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL). Through this approach, the project encourages the development of healthy habits and improves awareness around important topics related to physical, mental, and social well-being.

The Objectives

The iLearn4Health project seeks to:

Enable the teachers and children to develop a scientific point of view of health, with reference to traditional and modern concept of health.
Allow teachers to provide high quality health education by using a Curricula based on that concept.
Promote Digital Game-Based Learning (DGBL) in primary schools.
