AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS….
SUN SAFE SCHOOLS GOES GLOBAL!
Since
it’s launch just a few years ago the success of the Sun Safe Schools national
accreditation scheme has gone from strength to strength. With thousands of
schools signed up to the scheme across the UK, teaching hundreds of thousand of
children nationwide. The scheme is fast gaining recognition as the reality
finally hits home that the key to reducing the soaring rates of skin cancer is
through education, education, education.
There
is no doubt that Sun Safe Schools is making an impact nationally, but Skcin are
overwhelmed by the response we are receiving on a global scale. Currently over
100 schools from all over the world have also registered with the scheme and
are using the comprehensive resources on offer to communicate sun safety within
their school environment.
Twenty
of these international participants are from the UV capital of the world,
Australia. This is quite an honor considering they are the most sun savvy
country on the planet - way ahead of the game in recognising the vital role
that schools play in the prevention of skin cancer and a generation ahead in
terms of seeing their efforts realised.
But
it’s not just Australia, many countries across the globe with English speaking
schools are finding us by the magnificent means of the world wide web and
getting on-board, with over 30 schools in the USA registered and many more from
around the world including; Austria, Canada, Chile, China, Greece, Malaysia, New Zealand, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Uganda and the United Arab Emirates…. Phew,
George has been busy!
The global interest in Sun Safe Schools is testament to the
quality resource provided by the Sun Safe Schools initiative, highlighting the
importance of such a scheme to exist and grow. With interest from more than one
of these countries to take the scheme national in their country… watch this
space folks, we are making waves.
