Educating for Healthy Settlements conference
Educating for Healthy Settlements conference
Date: 26 March, 2010
Venue: The Dragon Hall, London WC2
This event will bring together educators, researchers and practitioners from across health and the built environment disciplines to focus on the impact of the built environment on public health and how this is brought into education. Delegates will hear about the challenges of the transdisciplinary nature of working across these boundaries from inspiring keynote speakers and, drawing on examples of good practice, work together to deepen understanding and develop new and innovative teaching ideas.
Event Aims:
supporting the development of built environment education to help deliver more health aware planners, architects, urban designers, landscape and transport professionals
influencing undergraduate and post-graduate teaching from the 'bottom-up' by supporting those educators who want to put public health into built environment education at all levels - some are already doing this; others want to know about it; or do it more effectively
producing new teaching ideas and resources for delegates and others to draw on in developing education practice
developing and expanding the ‘Education Network for Healthier Settlements’ as a hub of expertise, activity and resources for promoting the integration of health issues into the teaching and learning of built environment professionals
The event is funded by the Centre for Education in the Built Environment (CEBE) and the Department of Health and organised by the WHO Collaborating Centre for Healthy Cities and Urban Policy at the University of the West of England in Bristol.
