Summer Schools in Health Education

Abstract

THE Central Council for Health Education intends holding two Summer Schools during 1944. One will take place at Whitelands College, Bede College, Durham, during July 24–August 3, and the other at Chelsea Polytechnic, London, during August 9–19. The programme of the schools will cover all aspects of health education (including sex education) and should be of value to teachers, youth leaders, educational and medical administrators, nurses and health visitors, social and industrial welfare workers, etc. The mornings will be devoted to lectures which will lay the necessary foundation of basic knowledge, while the evening lectures will relate this knowledge to a wider philosophical, historical and social context. In the afternoons there will be demonstrations and discussions arranged by the various organizations specializing in different fields of health education, and seminars for students with particular interests. Many applicants had to be rejected from the 1943 School owing to lack of accommodation. Those wishing to receive early notification of the forthcoming schools should send their name and address on a postcard to the Central Council for Health Education, Tavistock House, Tavistock Square, London, W.C.1.
