DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will present and discuss some of the challenges
  and perspectives in the educational work with health and sustainability a
 s cross curricular issues is schools\, based on ongoing educational resear
 ch in Denmark in times of reform. As part of this\, I will discuss relatio
 nships between international and national (Danish) policies within health 
 promotion and education for sustainable development (ESD) in schools\, foc
 using on common themes and challenges and on the transformation processes 
 that occur on the trajectory from international to national domains. \n\nC
 ommon characteristics of health education and education for sustainable de
 velopment is that both are contested concepts\, as these are complex and v
 alue loaded\, open for interpretations and represent a certain authority. 
  These characteristics pose certain common challenges for schools when it 
 comes to determining the key pedagogical questions such as the aims\, cont
 ent\, teaching strategies and desired outcomes of education for health and
  sustainability.  Some of the analytical issues I would like to discuss in
  this regard are the balance between flexibility and rigidity\, ‘fiery s
 ouls’ and norm supporting structures. The presentation will draw on rese
 arch carried out in the Research Center on Health Promoting Sustainable Sc
 hool Development (www.shs.au.dk).
