Graduated students with Europubhealth consortium partners

From June 30th to July 11th 2008, the EHESP hosted the second and final integration module.
The students, who first met during the first integration module in Krakow in July 2007, had the pleasure of meeting afresh in Rennes in order to work in groups on two European public health themes: “Healthy cities’ network in Europe” and “Citizens’ involvement in health and health services policy”.

They also presented their research work through a poster exhibition.
Francesca Senese (Italy) won a prize for the best poster “Has decentralization of health care in Italy affected horizontal equity?” and will receive a subscription to the newspaper “European Journal of Public Health” published by the EUPHA (European Public Health Association).

The first Europubhealth graduation

At the graduation ceremony held at the end of the module, the students received their diplomas with much emotion in the presence of the consortium partners, the EHESP staff and of course their families and friends who travelled to Rennes from the four corners of the world.

For this special occasion, the students also given a scarf specially designed by “Philogan” a creative artist living in Brittany. The ceremony combining Breton music and song joyously featured speeches from the students and representatives of the consortium. The students were given a good send off. Many of them had already secured professional appointments following their Europubhealth master course.

The first integration module took place at the Jagiellonian University – Institute of Public Health of Krakow (Poland), gathering for the first time the 37 Europubhealth students from Sheffield and Granada in order to work together on global health issues.

Students attended lectures and participated in workshops with teachers and professors from the different universities in the Europubhealth consortium, as well as international experts coming from the WHO, the UNDP and other organizations.
In multicultural groups they dealt with transnational public health issues, defining strategies to tackle international public health problems.

The first Integrative Module, delivered at the end of the first year of the Europubhealth Master, will be transferred from the Jagiellonian University of Krakow (Poland), to the French School of Public Health in Rennes (France), from the 2009 academic year onwards. This modification will concern students following the 2008-2010 study programme.
Year 1 students will therefore have the opportunity to meet Year 2 students finishing their specialization year, as they will both have their Integrative Module in Rennes at the same time. They will be able to share their experiences, bringing them closer together and fostering the development of a networking.
