Abstract
Modern education is associated with a significant tendency to change the approach to the school programs and social knowledge. One of the elements of this knowledge is developing the responsibility for the health of an individual and other people. Health is recognized as a fundamental concept in education, and 65% of adult Poles list it as a condition of a happy life. Health education is a process based on scientific principles that create opportunities for learning and making conscious decisions about your health. Responsible for this process are the family, the education system and the society. Educational activities should be directed to: discussion and enhancement of knowledge about health and health risks, the development of appropriate attitudes towards the application of the principles of hygiene, disease prevention and treatment. Therefore, an analysis of ways to spread knowledge about the health allows to note the numerous examples of social campaigns connected with the promotion of health behaviours in biological, social, cultural and moral contexts.
