IUHPE Conference: the count down is on!
The preliminary program of the conference is available for viewing and will give you an idea on just how much has been packed into this awesome event.
A special message from our Executive Director Sione Tu’itahi:
"Tena koutou katoa and warmest greetings to you all,
As we prepare to welcome you to the 23rd World Conference on Health Promotion, April 7-11, in Rotorua, we reflect on the events in Christchurch last week.
We know when tragic events affect our community, it affects us all in different ways. We stand with those in that beautiful city in the South Island of our peaceful country, where a senseless act of violence hit home for all of us no matter where we are in our globalised society.
We mourn those who were lost and remain firm in our stance to promote peace and wellbeing, and eliminate all forms of prejudice that lead to hatred and violence in the world.
Times like this makes more imminent the principles and theme of our conference and health promotion, that within the strengths of our unity in diversity, we work together across the world to break down barriers to peace and equity for the wellbeing of all. We are a ‘one world, one people, one health.’
We want to assure you this tragedy will not diminish the spirit and intent of our conference, along with our collective safety and wellbeing."
There will be 25 Master Classes at the World Health Promotion conference in Rotorua.
We firmly believe this can be a valuable learning experience for potential apprentices so share the news with your friends and colleagues and encourage them to sign up for this opportunity to learn from experts in their field.
Although the earlybird period for registrations is now closed don’t forget as an IUHPE/HPF member you are entitled to the reduced rate of $1200.
