Teams from Hospital da Luz Setúbal have organized different activities with 7 th and 12 th grade students of Escola Básica e Secundária Lima de Freitas and 4 th grade students of Colégio Andrade Corvo, in the context of project “Health at School”. This is the third year of the project viewing to develop the health competencies of children and youths in the district. The project “Health at School” is based on the criteria defined in the national program of Health Education Promotion (PES) in schools, and it was designed by Hospital da Luz Setúbal following requests from schools for information sessions on health themes adapted to the different age groups and education levels. In the context of our commitment of support to the community, we have accepted the challenge. Learn to save lives and identify addictive behaviour Within Lima de Freitas school group, about sixty 12 th grade students had the opportunity to learn how to aid people in difficulty or even in sudden cardiorespiratory arrest and train Basic Life Support (BLS) techniques in manikins .
