A new partnership between Hospital da Luz Funchal and Xico Experto aims to educate children about health through interactive experiences in Funchal, Madeira.

In a significant move to foster health education among children, Hospital da Luz Funchal has partnered with Xico Experto, an innovative educational space for children located in São Martinho, Funchal. This collaboration is set to integrate health literacy into the interactive learning experiences offered by Xico Experto, designed to engage children in a creative and sensory manner.

Xico Experto, recently inaugurated in the vibrant district of São Martinho, is dedicated to the pedagogical development of children by simulating real-world professions and everyday experiences. This unique environment encourages children to explore various roles and activities, fostering both creativity and practical understanding.

With the expertise of Hospital da Luz Funchal, the educational space will now include a health component that allows children to engage with medical concepts in a playful and age-appropriate way. The goal is to demystify the healthcare environment and equip young minds with essential health knowledge, thus promoting a better understanding of personal and public health.

This partnership is particularly significant for Madeira, a region that values educational innovation and community health. By embedding health education into children's daily learning, the initiative not only benefits the local community but also enhances the educational landscape for tourists visiting the island.
