Apprentissage participatif
The scientific programme of the 20th IUHPE World Conference on Health
Promotion consists of different presentation formats to provide
presenters and participants with a unique, inspiring learning
experience, as well as discussion and exchange opportunities about
stateof- the-art knowledge and cross-cutting issues in health promotion
and sustainable development.
All conference participants are invited to give feedback on what’s
happening throughout the five days of the conference. A special team of
evaluators and observers will be
there to collect impressions, highlights and suggestions for
improvement. A short feedback on the previous day with reflections and
feedback from participants will be given each morning before the
plenary.
Plenaries and sub-plenaries
Everyday of the Conference, all participants are invited for a
joint session in the plenary room to meet distinguished speakers who
will provide the latest insights and share their opinions on the
conference themes. These discussions will be supplemented by daily
debates and discussions in five parallel sub-plenary sessions.
Parallel and poster sessions
A wide array of presentation formats will be offered in the
parallel and poster sessions: from symposia to workshops, from oral
presentations to electronic poster sessions,
from traditional posters to guided poster tours – there is something
for everybody!
All conference participants are invited to visit the poster area
that will host more than 1200 posters over the four conference days. All
poster presenters will be available for discussion during coffee breaks
and lunches. Selected guided poster tours allowing for extra debate and
discussion time on specific topics will take place during lunch time in
the poster area.
Oral presentation sessions, symposia and some of the more traditional
workshops will take place in the main conference building. Sessions that
will utilise highly interactive
techniques and innovation will be offered in the workshops taking place
on the ‘Wild Side’ and in alternative working spaces.
New poster presentation format: Electronic poster sessions will be held
on the Wild Side, with short interventions, supported by visual images
and time for discussion in between.
Take a Walk on the Wild Side!
- Old conferences were talking heads …
- Recent conferences were talking heads, talking aboutthe importance of participation …

Five rooms in the adjoining building CCV aka ‘Wild Side’ and alternative working spaces in the main conference building CICG [WS A1, WS A2, WS A3 and WS A4] will host interactive workshops and sub-plenaries. All these rooms are equipped with flipcharts, pin-walls and chairs that have been arranged for work in groups. Such learning formats as World Café and Open Space debates [for more information on these formats, please visit the conference website] will be implemented there.
On each conference day starting from Sunday, a reflection session with interested participants will be held on the Wild Side to share their expectations, impressions and
observations about the conference.
We invite you to exchange, discuss, learn, disagree, be active, share, network, express, have fun …
