Seminars on “Capacity Building for Anti-Doping Awareness and Education in Schools” within Pre-University Educational Institutions

The teacher training module plays a vital role in empowering teachers not only as educators, but also as promoters of ethical and health-related values within the school environment. The training provides teachers with up-to-date knowledge about the risks associated with doping and effective prevention strategies, equipping them to address these issues competently and effectively in their work with students.

Through this module, teachers learn how to integrate anti-doping topics into the curriculum and extracurricular activities, thereby creating an educational environment that promotes clean sport, healthy lifestyles, and ethical decision-making. Enhancing teachers’ awareness and skills can have a long-term impact on shaping the attitudes and behaviours of the younger generation.
