French term or phrase: Education pour la santé et le environnement
Heading for section of a primary school curriculum. It concerns teaching small kids about keeping healthy by keeping themselves and their home/school environment clean. The dilemma is that there is also a subject "environmental studies" - a precursor to geography and natural sciences. I am looking for confirmation of the term "health and environment/environmental education" or an improvement thereon. "Surroundings" fits as a concepts but does not really sound very good.

Healthy Living


Explanation:
Studies in Healthy Living/ Healthy Living programme/Course

This is just a stab - primary schools would probably prefer a communicative title rather than something very formal.

My kids do this as part of the proto-geography course, the whole thing is called Environmental Studies as you say.
