1. NEGATIVE
The influence of negative body image and psychological
problems on completion rate in education for adolescents
SUPPORTED BY
Negative is an EU GRUNDTVIG Learning Partnership project
with a focus on the psychological health of young people with
particular emphasis on negative body image, running from
September 2013 to December 2015. The partnership intends to
explore the relationship between psychological problems &
negative body image and completion rates in adolescents
education. The concrete objectives of this project are:
1. To connect the world leading researchers in the field of
negative body image/psychological problems of
adolescents directly with the European adult education
institutions who deal with the students on a day to day
basis to enhance their competence and share good
practice.
2. To enhance school leaders’ competence of how to deal with
these adults and how to plan for integrating these
successfully into ordinary classes and avoid drop out.
3. To develop a common strategy on how to enhance
completion rates in our regions, by being more capable of
understanding adults with psychological problems.
PROJECT PARTNERS
Is there a relationship between health and dropout rates
that could create future policies and institutional focus,
addressing education completion rates in partner areas?
