The ambition of this call for projects is to make places welcoming young people – and in particular schools, middle schools, high schools and universities – places which tend towards an objective of reduction, or even elimination of exposure to factors of preventable risk of cancer. It’s about making these places:
Protective places, promoting good health, and conducive to cancer prevention, by limiting as much as possible exposure to cancer risk factors (sedentary lifestyle, overweight and obesity, UV rays, and various sources of carcinogenic pollution, such as fine particles, radon, endocrine disruptors, pesticides, etc.) Firstly, the Territorial Communities, which own schools, colleges and high schools, have levers to act on the quality of buildings and, in general, school infrastructure. They are also able to fully mobilize their skills, particularly in terms of territorial planning, transport and mobility, management of collective spaces and infrastructures, or even administrative policing, to develop, in the face of schools, spaces conducive to cancer prevention. For example, this could involve developing and evaluating the establishment of car-free spaces or even tobacco-free spaces around schools, but also carrying out development interventions that promote mobility. gentle or practicing regular physical activity.
An environment conducive to the deployment of health promotion interventions, to guarantee appropriation of spaces and infrastructure. The objective here is to make the school the place conducive to the appropriation of infrastructures and spaces by all, thus supporting changes in individual behavior as best as possible. All avoidable cancer risk factors that may, in this way, be affected.
It is about making places welcoming young people and their surroundings empowering environments, giving everyone the power to act from the point of view of health promotion and cancer prevention.
