Plenary, Concurrent, Small Group, applied ‘Toolbox’, and ‘International Community Stories’ sessions will be offered.

Our traditional Aboriginal Opening and Closing Sessions offer a remarkable entry to the stimulating environment you will encounter.

SUMMER SCHOOL 2004 CURRICULUM

1. Plenary Sessions
Inspirational keynote presentations will be offered at the opening and closing of the Summer School to help bring participants from all curriculum areas together for learning and reflection. These sessions will reflect the needs and experiences of diverse communities of Ontario, including Aboriginal and Francophone.

2. Concurrent Sessions
This year’s Concurrent Themes are:

• Developing Personal Skills
• Reorienting Health Services

Concurrent sessions will be offered throughout the four days of the Summer School. Each series will have six 90-minute sessions plus three Small Group sessions to deepen learning and practical application. There will be nine hours of instruction altogether.

There will be four Concurrent series to choose from, two within each theme. You will be asked to select one series on your Registration form. An Aboriginal-specific curriculum will be offered (Concurrent 1 within «Developing Personal Skills» theme: Medicine Wheel) and French-language sessions will be offered (Concurrent 4, within «Reorienting Health Services» theme on Tuesday and Wednesday --June 22d and 23d).

An integrated set of workshops and lectures will be offered within each theme. Participants are advised NOT to consider attending workshops within different concurrent series.

OVERVIEWS OF CONCURRENT SERIES

A. «Developing Personal Skills»

The Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion (1986) talks about supporting personal and social development through providing information, education for health and enhancing life skills as strategies for health promoters to use. The aim is to enable people to learn throughout life, prepare themselves for all stages, and to cope with chronic illness and injuries. Over the years, rather than focus only on lifestyles and education of individuals, the critical role of the socio-cultural environment and collective approaches has been added. Within this theme at the Summer School, we are offering two options for health promoters who work in a variety of settings.

CONCURRENT SERIES 1: The Medicine Wheel

This concurrent series will focus on the Aboriginal approach to health. Participants will:

• gain an understanding of the four components of the Medicine Wheel (spiritual, physical, mental and emotional),
• gain an understanding of the inter-relationship of these components, and
• develop skills for each of these components.

By the end of the Summer School, participants will be able to incorporate this approach into new and existing programs and evaluate a program based on this health model.

This series will be of value to professionals (Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal) who work with Aboriginal populations or who are interested in integrating a new dimension into basic health promotion concepts and/or into their professional scope of practice.

ALL PARTICIPANTS ARE WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE IN ABORIGINAL-SPECIFIC CONTENT.

.

The Medicine Wheel is described as the Way of Life of the People - our relationships with each other, our relationship to the earth and nature and all living things.

There are many teachings that come with learning from and understanding the Medicine Wheel. It is said that there are four paths to follow and they are named for the four directions: North, South, East and West. Each of us have our beginning in one on the directions and in our journey we must experience all directions, learn from those we travel with, the challenges we face in nature, and all the animals we come in contact with.

The four directions can represent many things:

• HUMAN PERSONALITY: Physical, Mental, Spiritual & Emotional.
• SEASONS: Fall, Winter, Spring & Summer.
• RACES: Red, White, Black, & Yellow.
• STAGES OF LIFE: Childhood, Adolescence, Adulthood & Elders.
• ELEMENTS: Earth, Air, Fire & Water.
• NORTH: Black; Earth, holds energy, physical aspect, introspection & insight.
• EAST: White; Air, animals, receives energy, mental aspect, wisdom & logic.
• SOUTH: Yellow; Fire, sun, determines energy, spiritual aspect, illumination & enlightening.
• WEST: Red; Water, plants, gives energy, emotional aspect, trust & innocence
  

CONCURRENT SERIES 2: Changing Behaviour in a Social Context

This concurrent series will focus on behaviour and lifestyle change, exploring the broader social context within which such change takes place. By the end of the Summer School, each participant in this series will:

• be aware of the theories and models of behaviour change and the components of a well-designed intervention,
• be able to assess a behaviour change intervention for its appropriateness,
• be able to understand some of the implementation issues,
• be able to design their own intervention, and
• be able to identify the resources for evaluation and data collection.

This series may be of particular value to those who are working in public health, community health, workplace health, or community and hospital outreach, who have recently moved into health promotion positions, or who would like to brush up on their basic skills.

B. «Reorienting Health Care»

The Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion (1986) states that the role of the health sector must move increasingly in a health promotion direction, beyond its responsibility for clinical and curative services. This expanded mandate should support the needs of individuals and communities for a healthier life and open the channels between the health sector and broader social, political, economic and environmental components. Reorienting health services requires changes in attitude, organizational structures, and professional education.

By the end of the Summer School, participants in these series will:

• be aware of the critical elements of incorporating health promotion into health services,
• be able to assess the opportunities and barriers for including health promotion in health services,
• be able to design their own health promotion initiative in a primary care setting, and
• be able to identify resources and potential indicators of success.

CONCURRENT SERIES 3: Putting Health Promotion into Health Care

This concurrent series will be of particular interest to those who work in primary care settings and want to introduce an element of health promotion into their program or practice.

CONCURRENT SERIES 4: French-language curriculum

Those who wish to attend workshops in French may participate in this concurrent series, and must indicate so on the registration form. Courses will be offered in French, on Tuesday (22d) and Wednesday (23d).

(Those requesting subsidies for those workshops must contact the HPSS Coordinator immediately. For criteria, see French version of web site for more information).

3. Small Group Sessions

Small Group sessions will be available in both English and in French. These sessions offer a greater in-depth and more interactive exploration of material presented in the Concurrent sessions.

Participants will be asked to select one of the following groups when registering:

-Francophone	-Rural
-Aboriginal	-Urban/Multicultural

Each small group will stay together and meet three times throughout the week (except those participating in French-language sessions, who will meet on Monday afternoon only).

4. Toolbox Sessions

A large number of 90-minute Toolbox sessions (practical hands-on workshops) will be open to everyone participating in English-language workshops.

Participants will be asked to pre-select two (2) Toolbox sessions when registering (one on Tuesday (Session A) and one on Wednesday (Session B). (Francophones receiving subsidies need not select these Toolbox sessions; they will participate in French-language Toolbox sessions offered on Wednesday.)

Summaries of these sessions and presenters’ biographies are now available on this web site.(SEE SUMMARIES OF WORKSHOPS.)

5. International Community Stories

In this session, health promotion initiatives from three international locations will be shared.
Watch the web site for details of what these stories will be in May.

6. Community Networking and Exchange

Summer School Participants and Speakers will have an opportunity to share information about their organization and their work during a facilitated lunch-hour activity on Monday, June 21. Participants will be asked to pre-select their table on their registration form..
