Vlaams Instituut voor Gezondheidspromotie (VIG)

The Flemish Health Promotion Institute is a centre of expertise recognised by the Flemish Government in the field of health promotion. The Institute aims to enhance quality of life by promoting and preserving healthy behaviour and a healthy environment. In this respect, one of the Institute’s tasks is to develop methods for bringing about processes of change which should provide a solution to a specific health problem or to improved health in general. This can be via a subject-based angle of approach (including smoking prevention, accident prevention in the home, nutrition and health, etc.), or based on a setting or target group-oriented angle of approach (education, local communities, the underprivileged, etc.). The Institute also provides an academic foundation for its services and products and possesses an extensive library and documentation service. The Institute does not directly target the public at large, but professional agencies, the government, the media and the business community.
INVENT is an inventory of educative materials to be used in schools.
