Helping Schools in Raising Awareness of the Importance of Sun Protection

The educational campaign ‘Protection for Everyone’, organized by Eucerin Serbia and the B92 Fund, supported by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia, on 21 January 2019 started with a competition for all primary schools in the territory of the Republic of Serbia, with the goal of raising children's awareness of responsible behaviour in the sun, and sun protection.

Of all the registered primary schools participating in the contest, the best 20 will be awarded a UV indicator, a special sun radiation measuring device, which will be displayed in a visible place outside the school. Five of the best teachers partaking in the contest will be awarded a one-day excursion for their entire class, at which an additional competition will be held and will bring the best class an award in the form of equipment for their classroom.

The contest is open for teachers of the first, second, third, and fourth grades, from all primary schools in the Republic of Serbia, who have passed the online education. The online education will be available on the campaign’s official website www.zastitazasve.rs from 21 January to 25 February 2019. After completing the education, teachers will receive a professional training certificate.

Based on the acquired knowledge, downloaded material for working with pupils, and forms acquired through online education, the teachers’ task is to come up with a creative lesson or an activity with their pupils, while also educating and involving their pupils in the preparation of works themed on responsible behaviour in the sun and sun protection.

You can find more details about the contest and the whole ‘Protection for Everyone’ campaign on the www.zastitazasve.rs website.
