15th MOTOVUN SUMMER SCHOOL OF HEALTH PROMOTION

The Motovun Summer School of Health Promotion is a meeting point for people working in health promotion locally, nationally and internationally. The aim of this initiative is to link the academic community with practitioners, people working directly on health promotion, and to enable them to exchange their skills, knowledge, experiences and ideas, respecting the values that both sides are bringing into that process.

This is also the "School of Hope", because it gathers people who wish to act and take actions in improving health and the quality of life, their own, as well as that of their fellow men and women, who respect human rights and can demonstrate that there is still "hope" in present day Europe.

The School is open to various types of events, productive (creation of new values) as well as reproductive (transfer of knowledge), seminars and courses, conferences, ad hoc meetings (expert groups), workshops (acquisition of new skills), field visits, festivals or other interactive events with the local community.

The aim of the Motovun Summer School of Health Promotion was to develop into the training and communication centre for health promotion movement with an emphasis on international cooperation, diversity of disciplines and high quality work. We believe we have succeeded in this.
