young-minds.net/lessons learnt: Student Participation, Action and Cross-Cultural Collaboration in a

In this 140-page book, the authors discuss research findings from an international web-based educational project in which students from four different countries in Europe worked together on issues concerning youth, culture and the use of alcohol. The project explored three key themes:

• Students' genuine participation and action as prerequisites for developing ownership of learning.
• Cross-cultural collaboration as a precondition for understanding one's own practice and culture and for developing a sensitivity to otherness.
• Information and communication technology (ICT) as a democratic, networked learning environment built around learning communities and interactions that transcend the limits of space and time.

The findings indicate that ICT can play a significant role in health education in schools. The authors suggest that teachers as responsible dialogue partners in learning processes play a crucial role in unlocking the potential and commitment of young people to deal with health issues.

"young-minds.net/lessons learnt" is written for researchers, teachers, and health promotion professionals interested in knowing how to involve young people in issues that concern their lives.
