International Union for Health Promotion and Education

19th World Conference on Health Promotion and Health Education:
Health Promotion Comes of Age: Science, Policy & Practice for the 21st Century.
A goal of the conference will be to review, reassess and determine the relevance of the Ottawa Charter in the 21st Century. The conference will address questions such as: Does the Charter need updating with new principles and action strategies? What have we learned from the results of the actions set out in the Charter? What would enhance the ability of health promotion advocates to implement the Charter's original principles? How could theory (especially political theory) help to further the implementation of the Charter?

Dates: 11-15 June 2007
Location: Vancouver, Canada
