Dear CANCHID colleagues,
Call for Proposals Due October 6!
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
*Posters
*Thematic posters
Authors of selected proposals accepted for presentation will be invited to
prepare a paper for publication in one of these peer-reviewed journals:
Progress in Community Health Partnerships: Research, Education, and Action; The
Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement; or Context: The Journal
Recognizing Student Health Professionals Engaged in Their Communities. There is
no guarantee of publication, but we intend to work closely with authors and the
journal editors to ensure high quality submissions that are likely to be
favorably reviewed. In addition, Context will publish abstracts of all accepted
proposals authored by students! Learn more about these journals at these
websites:

This CCPH conference in particular is notable for a number of reasons:
*It celebrates our 10th anniversary, allowing us to reflect on our
history and evolution and engage stakeholders in determining our future
directions.
*It is our first conference held in Canada, presenting unprecedented
opportunities to learn from Canadian experiences with community-campus
partnerships and the social determinants of health, and to explore
synergies across North America and beyond.
*It takes place in one of the most diverse cities in the world, enabling
us to explore critical issues of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status,
wealth and culture.
*It represents an important product of our partnership with the Wellesley
Institute (www.wellesleyinstitute.com), the Toronto-based organization
that advances the social determinants of health through rigorous
community-based research, reciprocal capacity building, and the informing
of public policy.
We hope you can join us in Toronto next spring!
