22.06.2009 The 1st European Regional Meeting of the International Institute for Health Promotion (IIHP) was held at University West in Trollhättan, Sweden on June 10-12, 2009. Ten participants from four different countries came together to advance the goals and activities of the European IIHP region.
The meeting started with several presentations from the participants on workplace health promotion and curriculum including a presentation from students of the host University West. Ensuing discussions and group work focused on the organizational structure of the IIHP (including meetings, publication and website) as well as on curriculum, training courses, summer school and certification.
The successful meeting had the following outcomes:
1. The IIHP core curriculum for workplace health promotion was agreed upon with two amendments.
2. An international summer school based on the core curriculum will be held at the University of Heidelberg in August (23-30) of 2010.
3. The represented universities will explore applying for EU funding for a joint degree program under the leadership of Palacky University in the Czech Republic.
4. An IIHP e-newsletter will be published starting in the fall. This will be a joint effort of the University of Heidelberg, American University and Wolf Kirsten.
5. The European IIHP website (www.ec-iihp.eu) will be further enhanced with IIHP member profiles, resources, studies and useful links.
6. The IIHP will explore the possibility of offering a joint certification with the American College for Sports Medicine (ACSM) starting in Germany under the leadership of the DVGS.
7. Existing members will reach out to potential strategic partners and prospective members in Europe.
The meeting participants concluded that the IIHP should remain focused on health promotion overall while initiating strategic initiatives with a more specific focus, e.g., workplace health promotion training.
