More about the conference...
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.
The conference - our first in Canada - promises to be one of our best ever!
We're expecting over 500 participants, reflecting key stakeholders in
community-campus partnerships and community-driven social change.
Features this year include:
* Pre-conference workshops on such topics as Asset-Based Community
Development and Using Community-Based Research to Affect Public Policy
* A focus on Aboriginal and Indigenous Peoples' Health
* A focus on Community-Academic Partnerships in HIV/AIDS
* An Emerging Leaders Track, designed by and for students
* Site visits of innovative community-campus partnerships in one of the most
diverse cities in the world!
* One-day registration rates for local community-based participants
We hope to see you this April in Toronto!
