Plenary 4: Better health care responses to community needs through a culture of cooperation
Health and education are closely interrelated. Health is linked to the daily life of students, teachers and families. It is important to provide a global framework to schools to facilitate coherent learning that promotes personal dimension (learning to care for oneself), the relational dimension (know how living together) and the environment dimension (know how taking care of the surroundings). It is very important to promote the ethics of care, to learn how to care for oneself, others and the environment. It is a basic aspect to address the challenge of chronicity and aging.
A health promoting school is one that promotes the health and welfare of the school community through healthy organization, an educational program aimed at promoting life skills, a performance in front of the main determinants of health (diet, physical activity, emotional health, living together, healthy environment,...), the participation of the school community and good relations with the surrounding environment.
The relationship between schools and health services is presented in: 1) The school curriculum is the basis of health literacy, lifelong learning and empowerment. 2) School teaches personal and social determinants of health and promotes responsibility in the management of personal and collective health. 3) Collaboration between health services and schools improves student learning about the organization and operation of health services.
In our experience to foster a culture of collaboration between schools and health services is important: 1) Connecting health and educational policies, creating a framework for global collaboration, defining common goals, languages and working models for facilitate health literacy of citizens of the future. 2) Networking in the territory looking for opportunities and synergies of working together. 3) Training teachers and health professionals to encourage dialogue and collaboration.

Population and Public Health Branch of Saskatoon Health Region deployed improvement methods to develop a comprehensive strategy to improve outcomes for small children ages 0 to 5. The Early Years Health and Development Strategy (EYHDS) team comprised of 5 front line staff and an improvement consultant worked intensively over three months (Feb, Mar, and April, 2012) to Define, Measure and Analyze the opportunity for improvement and generated 25 recommendations. The result was a set of related recommendations for health planners, governments and community organizations. The presentation will demonstrate how improvement methods can be used effectively in community based health promotion areas of health care.

20. Thank you! Questions?
A few discussion questions to start
us off:
1) What are some of the ways
you/your volunteers have incorporated
culture into health programming?
2) How, in your opinion, can we go
beyond thinking of culture as simply
“harmful traditional practices” and how
can this be beneficial to program
success?
3) Do you have any examples/stories
on how cultural sensitivity has made
your program more effective?
