CAPHIA Teaching & Learning Forum 2024
Theme & Streams Announced
CAPHIA is excited to announce the title and theme for our 2024 Teaching and Learning Forum: “Partnered Journeys”. Hosted by the University of Queensland’s School of Public Health on September 26 & 27 at the Saint Lucia Campus.
Contemporary public health challenges require collaborative solutions, and future-proofing the public health workforce means developing professionals and future leaders who can perform in the face of complexity and uncertainty.
This years’ focus on Partnership reflects our commitment, as a community of practice, to curiosity, open-mindedness and to making space for personal and cultural expression. Collaboration is at the heart of public health and core to CAPHIA’s mission. Public health educators have an important opportunity to model this, by establishing authentic partnerships that value diverse knowledge and perspectives. Similarly, our focus on Journeys recognises that public health expertise is a lifelong process to co-create solutions with the communities we serve.
Via our three forum streams – Students, Community and Workforce – we aim to centre these perspectives and invite participants to:
o Think differently about the role of students in teaching and learning.
o Centre community by establishing reciprocal, authentic partnerships which value local, Indigenous and other knowledges and perspectives.
o Strengthen workforce capability, foster employability, entrepreneurship, and industry partnership.
