Code Against Cancer in practice

Students learn the 12 recommendations of the European Code Against Cancer and choose those that apply to youth.

Steps

1. We hand out the list of recommendations and explain more difficult terms.
2. In groups, students mark the recommendations they can apply right now (movement, sun, smoke).
3. Each group prepares one rule in the form of a poster.
4. We hang the posters in the school hallway.

Tip: Talk about prevention, avoid scaring them; some students may have sick relatives.

Materials needed

• White Bristol board (1 sheet per group)
• Coloured markers (1 set per group)
