Western Migrant Stream Forum

Post-conference Promotor/a Trainings

 

January 28-29, 2007

Doubletree Hotel Sacramento

Sacramento, CA

 

Together Migrant Health Promotion and NWRPCA are offering two post-conference promotor/a program intensive trainings for different audiences, January 28-29:

 

Training 1

1) Promotores(as) de Salud: Leadership with Head, Hands and Heart

January 28, 1-5 pm; Space is limited to 20 registrants

 

DESCRIPTION

Facilitators from Migrant Health Promotion will begin this interactive workshop by building on participants’ existing knowledge of the roles that guide the head, the skills that guide the hands, and the personal and professional qualities that guide the heart of a promotor(a). As a result of these multiple responsibilities, promotores(as) quickly become identified as leaders, which can be challenging and exciting all at once. What does being a leader mean when building community strength and capacity? What does leadership mean within the community-empowerment philosophy of Popular Education? How can a promotor(a) become an effective and respected leader, yet balance personal and family needs? Different styles and types of community leadership will be discussed.

 

Target Audience: New promotores(as), program coordinators and others who want to learn promotor model fundamentals.
