The goal of this annual symposium is to provide an opportunity for
networking, to discuss and debate issues and to develop strategies to
address our priority issues in teaching health promotion.

Through interactive plenaries, workshops and round table discussions
the following issues, among others, will be explored;

… Are there core competencies in health promotion? If so, what are they?
… What are the pros and cons of using a competency-based approach in
health promotion courses and programs?
… Are the knowledge, skills and attitudes the same for undergraduate
and graduate students?
… Are the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required by practitioners
and researchers the same?
… What are the currently used pedagogical practices of people
teaching health promotion?
… How consistent are our current pedagogical practices with the
philosophy and principles of health promotion?
… Should our pedagogical practices be altered to reflect the health
promotion practices of the future?

This symposium will be of interest to all those who are teaching
health promotion or are interested in incorporating health
promotion into their existing course content.
