<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThe workshop organisers witnessed the outstanding diversity and involvement of participants as they received more than 50 assignments in five different languages from 25 countries over the world. The assignments highlighted how relevant and concrete Community Health can be and why it is important to facilitate the access to knowledge to define appropriate responses to health issues in local communities. There was a range of topics from health initiatives in schools, to the creation of projects directly carried out with the community on a broad variety of themes and targeted groups. Examples of the practice of Community Health include: the creation of a health promotion campaign on tobacco in India, the development of an intervention on cardiovascular risk factors in Beijing, and the involvement of midwives in health promotion practices in Columbia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
