Oral Session | ||||

| In this session, presenters will describe the use of popular education in four different programs. They will demonstrate how popular education methods are used in specific sectors (e.g. the healthcare sector, meatpacking and poultry industries) and to address a variety of issues (eg. health and safety in the global economy, ergonomics). Presenters will also discuss how they use popular education in different settings (e.g. with union and labor-management health and safety committees, to develop conferences, and in vocational education programs). Each presenter will analyze the challenges and successes in moving people to take action in specific programs. The session will conclude with a participatory discussion about how to promote the use of popular education in occupational health work. | ||||
