Wednesday 20 November 2019, 9:00 – 17:00
During this pre-conference of the European Public Health Conference, different perspectives to the future of health promotion will be explored from a global and a national level. The pre-conference is organised by the EUPHA Section Health promotion, UNESCO Chair Global Health & Education, Bielefeld University, and The German Prevention RESEarch NeTwork (PRESENT).
The morning session (9.00 – 13.00) which is organised by the UNESCO Chair Global Health & Education will focus on:
Intersectorality ‘next generation’: a real way to tackle health inequalities?
By the end of the session, we aim to have identified a range of intersectoral practices, gaps between theory and practice, and three priorities for moving ahead with genuine intersectorality.
In order to allow everyone to be able to participate in the pre-conference, we offer three different ways of participation:
- in person, by attending the pre-conference in Marseille;
- online by following the live broadcast of the pre-conference, with the possibility of interaction (the link will be shared through our website);
- online by consulting the presentations and videos from the pre-conference on our website, after 20 November 2019.
