Annual Global Forum on Health Promotion
The Global Forum on Health Promotion is the Alliance’s flagship annual event. An international platform where civil society, youth leaders, policymakers, and global health experts come together to shape the future of health promotion.
Since 2010 the Alliance has provided an annual Global Forum to address health, in terms of human well-being, in all of its dimensions. This change in paradigm calls for policies that overcome fragmentation and ‘silo’ approaches. It needs to be understood that good health is central to sustainable social and economic development across all sectors of global society. This requires a holistic approach to future strategies.
The Global Forum provides an important platform for NGOs, civil society, governments, academic institutions and other key stakeholders to address the current challenges of health promotion and set the agenda for research, advocacy and action. It is an opportunity for all those involved in promoting a healthier lifestyle to share and learn from one another whilst building consensus on best practices. New and innovative approaches based on emerging research as well as the experiences of grassroots project implementers are showcased.
