Description
(ESPR it´s the abbreviation of my school´s name, Escola Secundária Pinheiro e Rosa). This name is based on the famous TED Talks, and as Ted we focus to include talks on scientific, cultural, and academic topics, in the most innovative and engaging ways we can. Based on the contents of one of the disciplines that I and a collegue enrolled at this course (Ana Isabel Pinheiro) teach – Health - we intend to organize together with the students of the third and last year of the professional course of Health Care Assistant (we have this class 6 times a week), a set of debates, lectures, awareness sessions, workshops, informal talks. We wanted these sessions to be made by the students and taken to all (or almost all) of the school classes, since they address themes related to young peoples ‘health. We wanted it to be informal conversations among young people. Given that we are well aware that although students are well prepared, they may not have the scientific knowledge necessary to face and answer questions posed by an audience, we proposed that students could establish contact with official institutions in our city and ask for help with the construction and public presentation of their projects
