Schools Serving Disadvantaged Communities CoPThis is a featured page

In June 2007, the World Health Organization convened a meeting to discuss future directions in school health promotion. One of the themes discussed at that meeting was how to correlate school-based and school-linked programs more closely with the local community contexts in which schools operate. These contexts included schools in low income countries, schools in communities that have been disrupted by war, disasters and epidemics, aboriginal communities and schools serving low income communities within high or medium income countries. See the consensus statement that emerged from that meeting.

Subsequent to that meeting, the Canadian Association for Community Education, the Canadian Association for School Health and the International School Health Network established a Community of Practice on Schools in Disadvantaged Communities (which addresses one of the community contexts identified in the WHO statement). In order to focus the discussion, the following summary statement has been developed.
