SYNOPSIS: Although we sometimes forget it, human beings do not live alone on the planet. Human health is linked to the health of other living beings and the health of the environment where all live in, as identified by the One Health concept. One Health, a contribution from the University is a book written by professors and researchers from the Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas Abel Salazar (ICBAS) of the University of Porto to the civil society, to bring this concept to many audiences. In this book, you can read several texts that present the One Health approach through situations close to all of us in order to promote understanding of it. If we recognize that the well-being of all living beings (and ours too) depends on an integrative, transdisciplinary approach and sustainable decision-making, then we can truly build a healthier future.

The ICBAS One Health office is committed to promoting the concept to the wider community, and we believe that engaging with children is one of the most effective ways to achieve this. We recently launched the program ‘One Health at Schools', the first phase of which involved visits to two primary schools in Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. During these visits, the One Health the concept was introduced to the children, and they were given a challenge to work on.

In the coming days, these students, along with their teachers and families, will visit ICBAS to present the results of their projects. These presentations are open to the entire ICBAS community and will take place on the following dates and times:
