Resumo: Thank-you for the opportunity to be with you today in this fascinating panel on the state of health promotion in Brazil, Canada and around the world. It is a great pleasure to be here, and to share my thoughts and reflections with you, not as na expert here to tell you how it ‘should’ be, but as a colleague interested in dialogue around points of mutual concern. I feel we have much to learn from what has been happening here in Brazil, and the work of Paolo Freire and many contemporary colleagues who continue this tradition of critical pedagogy for health (like my colleague and friend here at UNIFOR, Dr. Francisco Cavalcante Jr.). So in this spirit of friendship, dialogue and mutual learning, I will be very frank with you about the lessons learned in Canada, including some of our failures and mistakes which I hope you can successfully avoid. Also, I offer my apologies for not being able to speak with you in your own language. I wish to thank my friends Nicolas Ayres and Francisco Cavalcante Jr. For their assistance with translation. In addition to a brief overview of the development of health promotion in Canada, I would like to share some reflections on the social, political and economic context in which the field has evolved, both in Canada and internationally. I Will address three (3) key tensions I see in the field at the moment (from a Canadian perspective), and reflect on our successes and our failures. I will close with a few thoughts on future prospects and some of the challenges that I see that lie ahead. I would like to emphasize that any brief history of health promotion in Canada, and any assessment of its strengths, contributions and failures is inherently ‘subjective’ and idiosyncratic. Rather than repeat the work of other analysts and commentators (see for example – cite PHAC/HC docs), I offer my observations based on over a decade of involvement in the field (including involvement in the Critical Social Science and Health group at the University of Toronto), and in my capacity as Director of the Masters of Health Science program in health promotion at the University of Toronto. Doubtless, those with different interests, orientations, and practice backgrounds would come to (slightly or substantially) different conclusions.

É um grande prazer estar aqui e compartilhar meus pensamentos e reflexões com você, e não como perito nd aqui para lhe dizer como ele "deveria" ser, mas como um colega interessado no diálogo em torno dos pontos de interesse mútuo. Eu sinto que temos muito a aprender com o que tem acontecido aqui no Brasil, eo trabalho de Paulo Freire e muitos colegas contemporâneos, que continuam esta tradição da pedagogia crítica para a saúde (como o meu colega e amigo, aqui na UNIFOR, Dr. Francisco Cavalcante Jr .). Portanto, neste espírito de amizade, diálogo e aprendizagem mútua, vou ser muito franco com você sobre as lições aprendidas no Canadá, incluindo alguns dos nossos fracassos e erros que eu espero que você pode conseguir evitar. Além disso, eu apresento as minhas desculpas por não poder falar com você no seu próprio idioma. Gostaria de agradecer aos meus amigos Nicolas Ayres e Francisco Cavalcante Jr. por sua assistência na tradução. Além de um breve panorama do desenvolvimento da promoção da saúde no Canadá, eu gostaria de compartilhar algumas reflexões sobre o contexto social, político e económico em que o campo tem evoluído, tanto no Canadá e internacionalmente. Irei abordar três (3) as tensões principais que eu vejo em campo no momento (a partir de uma perspectiva canadense), e refletir sobre os nossos sucessos e nossas falhas. Vou terminar com algumas reflexões sobre as perspectivas futuras e alguns dos desafios que eu vejo que temos pela frente. Gostaria de enfatizar que qualquer breve história da promoção da saúde no Canadá, e qualquer avaliação dos seus pontos fortes, as contribuições e falhas é inerentemente subjetiva e idiossincrática. Ao invés de repetir o trabalho de outros analistas e comentaristas (ver, por exemplo - citar PHAC / docs HC), eu ofereço minhas observações com base em mais de uma década de envolvimento no campo (incluindo a participação na Crítica de Ciências Sociais e do grupo da Saúde da Universidade de Toronto), e na minha qualidade de Director do Mestrado de Ciências do Programa de Saúde na promoção da saúde da Universidade de Toronto. Sem dúvida, as pessoas com diferentes interesses, orientações e planos de fundo prática viria a (pouco ou quase) a conclusões diferentes.Universidade de Fortaleza2012-01-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Peer-reviewed Article""Avaliado pelos pares""Avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/99410.5020/994Brazilian Journal in Health Promotion; Vol. 20 No. 1 (2007); 3-11Revista Brasileña en Promoción de la Salud; Vol. 20 Núm. 1 (2007); 3-11Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde; v. 20 n. 1 (2007); 3-111806-1230reponame:Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúdeinstname:Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)instacron:UFORporhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/994/2155Poland, Blakeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2012-01-10T12:18:31Zoai:ojs.ojs.unifor.br:article/994Revistahttps://periodicos.unifor.br/RBPS/oai1806-12301806-1222opendoar:2012-01-10T12:18:31Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde - Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)false
