Mobilising Local Health Promotion Systems for Equity: Taking up the challenge of the social determinants of health
The aim of the residential Summer School in Rennes, France is to showcase and explore innovative strategies:
- to enhance the health promotion capacity of local systems,
- to address the upstream social determinants of inequalities in health.
This course will provide advanced up-to-date knowledge on population health strategies to tackle inequalities in health and well-being. It will feed reflections on approaches to organising multisectoral efforts and coordinating action.
2014 Course – Academic Recognition
Both theoretical and practical elements of health promotion are included in the programme, which is underpinned by an emphasis on participant interaction, including: field-visits to exemplary programs; opportunities for sharing knowledge and experiences with international colleagues involved in health promotion, in its broadest sense; all participants engage in developing a project as part of an international multidisciplinary working group.
2014 Course Participants – Who should come?
The Summer School now in its 23rd year will not only equip you with new knowledge and skills but also inspire and revitalise your enthusiasm for promoting health and wellbeing and develop long-lasting international professional networks. The Summer School is targeted at a wide range of professionals from different disciplines (health promotion, public health, and all levels of health care, education, social work as well as research, management and policy backgrounds). While our participants mostly come from Europe, we regularly welcome participants from other regions.
