GENERAL INFORMATION
Title
Educational scenario on the topic "non-communicable diseases"
Description
The educational scenario supports teachers and school community in exploring societal concerns around the determinants of health and prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCD) - major causes of premature deaths (< 70 years) worldwide - using updated scientific evidence. The teaching-learning script supports students in understanding this public health threat and understand on how STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) contribute to approach and fight the major challenges of public health, contribute to evidence-based personal decision-making and public policy. The scenario explores the most important influences on humans’ health and strengths abilities to prevent NCD, by creating awareness on healthy lifestyles, social and environmental influences, and modifiable risk factors. It also supports students’ participation in civic society initiatives and in the design of local responses for the issue, while providing significant interactions with the community and STEM related professions (researchers, public health specialists, data scientists, policy makers, enterprises). The scenario is based on the mandatory curriculum of natural sciences at a European level and promotes the following fundamental learnings:  Distinguish health from quality of life.  Understand the main determinants of health and well-being.  Characterize the main non-communicable diseases, indicating the prevalence of associated risk factors.  Interpret information on the determinants of individual and community health, analysing their importance in the quality of life of a population.  Critically analyse action strategies in the promotion of individual, family, and community health, starting from issues framed in local, regional, or national problems.
