Workshops

Horizons offers a variety of day-long workshops, aimed at building the skills and knowledge of participants to work for healthy communities. We use a participatory, adult education approach in all of our workshops, and we respect the different learning styles of participants. We believe that participants should leave our workshops with hands-on tools and resources that can be applied in their own work. We are strong advocates of creating a fun learning experience for all our workshop participants, and incorporate physical activity and healthy nutrition breaks into all of our activities.

The workshops we offer include:

• Introduction to Community Capacity Building
• Measuring Community Capacity Resource Kit Facilitator Training
• Introduction to Health Promotion
• Introduction to Population Health
• Introduction to Community Development
• Fostering Resiliency
• Influencing the Development of Healthy Public Policy
• Introduction to Community Health Planning
• Using Research Information in Planning for Community Health
• Data, Evidence, and Community Input
• Introduction to Evaluation

Once a year we offer a workshop series based in Halifax, which is open to anyone who is interested. The workshops can also be tailored to meet the needs of individual organizations. Please contact us for more information.
