Global village, global villages: Reinventing health promotion for the current era.

Date:Wednesday 14th October, 2020 11am-12.30pm

This webinar will discuss the possibility of a new type of health promotion centred on community, with the aim of enhancing health and wellbeing for everyone in today’s challenging environment of Covid-19, climate change, globalisation, social and political stress, increasing inequality, racism and growing tyranny and division around the world. It will in particular present the view that modern health promotion should draw strongly on Maori and Pacific cooperative approaches to community.

Presenter:

John Raeburn.

John has been a pioneer and innovator in health promotion, mental health promotion and public health for almost 50 years, using his academic roles at the University of Auckland and AUT to develop new ideas and projects. These included helping to set up the HPF, participating in the Ottawa and Bangkok Charter processes, teaching people-centred approaches to health promotion, and engaging in multiple empowering community projects, which have been his passion. He has worked closely with Maori, Pacific and immigrant groups, both urban and rural. He has a QSO for community service, and was the 2015 Public Health Champion.
