A health education and development facilitator, working with people one-to-one, in small groups, or in community or institutional settings, will engage salient teaching and learning practices that serve to empower people to improve their health outcomes.

Through assignments, tutorials and lectorials you will work in teams, using a range of experiential learning formats to develop knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to facilitate the planning, implementation and evaluation of health education and development in diverse circumstances.

This subject draws on the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion (WHO 1986), the Sundsvall Statement (WHO 1991), the Jakarta Declaration (WHO 1997) and the Bangkok Charter for Health Promotion (2005), to define its scope.
