PSHE is an elemental part of the British curriculum and isn't available at German schools. PSHE stands for "Personal, Social, Health, and Economic Education" and covers topics such as healthy eating, dealing with exam anxieties, Social Media, body imaging, bullying, negotiation techniques or substance misuse. One of our schools described the puspose of PSHE as "helping young people make the right decisions." This sums up it up perfectly.
In order to make PSHE more available to pupils who are not (yet) taught at British schools we implemented our own online PSHE webinar series from December 2023 to March 2024. We invited guests from our British partner schools to focus on a particular topic of PSHE. If you would like to watch recordings of the webinars, please find the topics and links below.
