WORKSHOP  2:  HEALTH  PROMOTION  PLANNING  FRAMEWORKS  

This  week  we  ask  you  to  consider  health  promotion  frameworks  and  how  they  relate  to  our  practice.    Sometimes   it   is   better   to   take   small   steps   and   achieve   great   outcomes   than   trying   to   achieve   too  much.  In  your  workshop  groups  you  will  begin  the  planning  process.    You  need  to  develop  a  project  plan   according   to   the   frameworks   presented   in   the   lecture,   for   example   the   Integrated   Health  Promotion  Framework,  or  Environments  for  Health.  

Your  facilitator  will  spend  time  discussing  the  importance  of  planning  and  project  management  and  provide  examples  from  their  practice.  

ACTIVITIES  

PART  1:  MENTORS  AND  PAST  STUDENT  GUEST  SPEAKERS    

Mentors  will  be  visiting  workshop  groups  to  discuss  where  they  might  be  able  to  help  you  and  tell  you  about  their  ideas  of  possible  projects  around  the  campus.  

Past  CHP  students  will  visit  the  workshop  to  share  their  experiences  with  you.  

PART  2:  LECTURE  AND  READINGS  REVIEW    There   are   a   number   of   essential   readings   to   be   complete   this   week.   Each   group   will   present   a   5  minute  summary  of  what  they  have  learnt  from  one  of  the  readings,  the  video  or  the  lecture.    Your  facilitator   will   nominate   which   group   will   present   which   information.   Resources   you   will   need   to  prepare  notes  for:  

• Lecture  material  • Fair  foundations  VicHealth  video  • Integrated  Health  Promotion  Framework  (Section  3)  • Strategic  framework  for  the  Health  Promoting  Universities  project  (pp121-­‐137)  • Environments  for  health  (pp.6-­‐17)  • Ottawa  Charter  (from  Week  1  reading)  

Complete  the  readings,  watch  the  lecture  and  video  and  prepare  notes  for  a  summary  presentation.  You  may  wish  to  do  this  in  your  groups  or  individually  and  then  share  with  each  other.    

PART  3:  THINKING  OUTSIDE  THE  SQUARE    To   prepare   you   for   your   health   promotion   project   and   to   encourage   you   to   think   small   and   think  outside   of   the   square   each   group   will   read   information   about,   or   watch   a   video   from   a   range   of  examples  provided  by  your  facilitator.  Consider  the  questions  below  and  be  prepared  to  report  back  on  these  to  the  whole  group.    

For  this  activity  you  will  need  to  consider  the  elements  of  the  activity  and:  

• How  it  applies  to  the  Ottawa  Charter  • Where  the  activity  does  fits  into  the  health  promotion  continuum?  • What  is  the  message?  • Who  is  the  population  the  message  is  aimed?  

 

PART  4—PLANNING  A  HEALTH  PROMOTION  ACTIVITY    Good  health  promotion  practice   takes  planning.     In   this  weeks   lecture  we   introduced  you  to  health  promotion  planning  frameworks.  Discuss  these  frameworks  in  your  groups  and  consider  which  might  be   the  most   appropriate   for   your   project.   You  will   apply   this   new   knowledge   to   your   projects   and  demonstrate   an   understanding   of   the   application   of   the   skills   through   the   group   report   due   on  Monday  7th  September.      

 

In  your  small  groups,  you  need  to  identify  an  idea  for  a  health  promotion  project  to  plan,  implement  and   evaluate   throughout   the   semester.     You   will   also   need   to   consider   the   identified   health  promotion  activity  in  relation  to  the  continuum  and  the  Ottawa  Charter.  Depending  on  your  campus  arrangements  you  may  be  able  to  choose  from  a  list  of  allocated  projects.      

The  topic  your  group  chooses  will  be  the  basis  of  the  individual  essay  due  on  2/11/15  

Prior  to  the  workshop,  after  completing  the  readings,  think  about  what  your  project  might  focus  on,  and  which  planning  framework  would  suit  your  project.    

IMPORTANT   DATES:   INDIVIDUAL   HEALTH   PROMOTION  INTERVENTION  PROPOSAL  IS  DUE  ON  17/8/15
