ICHG Winter Meeting 2011
School Health and Nutrition: Lessons from around the world
This year's Meeting will take place on Thursday 3 November in Bristol.
Health and nutrition interventions delivered in school settings can translate into long-term health and economic benefits not simply by improving child health directly but by breaking intergenerational cycles of poverty. This meeting brings together world experts to examine where we are succeeding and failing in this area a decade after school health and nutrition strategies were highlighted as a global priority at The World Education Forum in 2000.
Please see this flyer for information on the programme and registration details - delegates fees have been reduced, and don't forget that ICHG members receive a £5 discount!
