Day: 24 April 2017

Didier Jourdan is visiting scholar in the Research Centre in the period 3 April – 26 May 2017. The funding for the visit was awarded by AUFF. The main aim of the visit is linked to establishment of a UNESCO Chair ‘Global School Health Consortium’. Professor Jourdan leads the consortium application. Professor Simovska is involved as a member of the consortium management team. Open lectures, seminars within the Research Programme ENGAGE and the Department of Educational Psychology at DPU are also planned for the period of the visit, as well as working on joint publications based on the data generated within the Centre.

Didier Jourdan will deliver an open lecture on “Potentials and Challenges of Mixed Methods Illustrated using the example of understanding the impact of health/wellbeing promotion programmes in complex educational systems”. This lecture sets out to illustrate and discuss the potentials and challenges of mixed-method research designs with a view to capturing the complexity of health and wellbeing promotion programmes in schools. Particular focus will be placed on challenges related to the evaluation, sustainability and transferability of school-based interventions.
