This book emerged from a series of workshops the Technical Secretariat of the European Network of Health Promoting Schools (ENHPS) initiated on practice and evaluation of the health-promoting schools approach. Five workshops took place from 1998 to 2006. The fourth workshop in November 2005 encouraged 40 participants from 33 countries to plan and carry out a case study in their country over a period of five months. The focus was developing and using indicators for health-promoting schools, and their work had to be relevant to the needs of the country. At the fifth workshop in June 2006, the case study contributors present - ed the preliminary case studies.
