Community-Campus Partnerships for Health 10th Anniversary Conference
"Mobilizing Partnerships for Social Change"
April 11 - 14, 2007 in Toronto ON Canada
Details at: www.ccph.info
How do we combine the knowledge and wisdom in communities and in academic
institutions to solve the major health, social and economic challenges
facing our society? How do we ensure that community-driven social change
is central to service-learning and community-based participatory
research?
Community-Campus Partnerships for Health (CCPH) is convening our 10th
anniversary conference, April 11-14, 2007 in Toronto, to nurture a
growing network of community-campus partnerships that are striving to
achieve the systems and policy changes needed to address the root causes
of health, social and economic inequalities. The conference seeks to
build knowledge, skills and actions for achieving healthy and just
societies.
We invite you to share your knowledge, experience and lessons learned
with hundreds of colleagues who - like you - are passionate about the
power of partnerships to transform communities and academe.
The conference planning committee is looking for proposals that address
one or more of these sub-themes:
*Understanding and Addressing the Social Determinants of Health
*From Grassroots Movements to Policy Change
*Communities as Centers of Learning, Discovery and Engagement
*Developing the Science of Community-Based or Practice-Based Evidence
Proposals are sought for these session formats:
*Pre-conference intensive workshops
*Skill-building workshops
*Story sessions
*Challenges consultation sessions
*Film screening and discussion sessions
