The International People's Health University (IPHU) is a global university
providing short courses and other resources for health activists. IPHU short
courses enable younger health activists (in particular activists associated
with PHM) to make new connections, share experiences and study together.
National and Regional PHM groups and contact people are urged to take this
opportunity to make sure that local young activists are encouraged and
supported to come to the Cuenca Short Course (from 11-15 July, 2005) as well
as the Second People's Health Assembly (PHA2)
<http://www.phmovement.org/pha2/> .
Course content
The content of the IPHU program will cover:
* the struggle for health- strategies, lessons and new directions
* the political economy of health - understanding globalisation, the
WTO, the IMF and the WB; local issues and global pressures
* comprehensive primary health care - experiences, lessons and new
directions
* working with communities and with grass roots health organisations,
including participatory research methods and conscientization
* health development and the right to health - principles, frameworks,
lessons and new directions
* oppression, hierarchies, alienation, exclusion and materialism and the
struggle for health
* gender, equity and participation and health
* AIDS, SARS and avian flu - global solidarity in confronting global
challenges
The program for the Cuenca Short Course is based on the People's Charter for
Health (PCH) <http://www.phmovement.org/charter/pch-index.html> . We will
explore the meaning of the PCH; analyse the challenges it presents and develop
resources and strategies for the struggle for Health For All.
