You are on the website of the 7th World Forum "Health Education for All, Today and Tomorrow", organized by the World Committee for Lifelong Learning and Senghor University.
Here you will find all the information you need, the latest announcements, and how to register.
We learn too little to live in good health and to develop our well-being! We often wait until we are sick to take care of ourselves. Isn't it time to reverse this order of things?
What are all the learnings that a person should acquire from an early age and throughout his life to pursue it in good health and protect himself from both physical and mental troubles? Know your own body, its functioning, its needs; knowing how to feed it with all healthy foods, knowing how to maintain it... learning to respect it, if not to love it: aren't these fundamentals that should be made known to everyone?
Isn't it also necessary to learn to be weak, sick, convalescent? To ask for help, to be accompanied, treated and advised to live at best? What about self-medication, which is growing thanks to the internet?
Can we be healthy in an environment that is not itself? How to be in good health in a country at war, in misery, in forced exile, in the deprivation of fundamental freedoms, in the face of growing inequalities, violence and injustice?
Taking care of others, of those around you, of where you live, of the planet: isn't this a sine qua non of personal well-being? Acting to help others, to make society better: does this type of action have an impact on one's health? Taking care of children, the elderly, those who need it the most, isn’t it essential for everyone who can?
At the collective level: what can we learn from this period of health crisis? What does the decline of the planet teach us? Above all, how can humans learn to get out of the current situation to live tomorrow in as good health as possible, for as long as they can live?
How to change the paradigm in favor of prevention? How to make health a public good?
What transformations must the systems - education, care, training for health professions, international organizations (WHO, NGOs, etc.) and national organizations (Ministries of Health) undertake?
Are there places, enlightening experiences, right now? What can we learn from the story? What do civilizations of the past teach us? What does Egypt, for example, beacon of humanity, teach us?
In the LLL arena that the CMAtlv has set itself the mission of promoting, those in favor of health today take on predominant, urgent importance. To this end, it has created a permanent working group made up of international experts. It has decided to devote to it, with the support of its partner Senghor University in Alexandria (Egypt) and its committee of experts, the main theme of its VII WORLD FORUM for Lifelong Learning.
The Forum will be followed by very precise, concrete recommendations, and a DECLARATION.

The World Forum for LifeLong Learning is intended to be a space-time conducive to the development of collective intelligence in the service of the search for innovative avenues. The CMAtlv invites its historical partners: the UIL (UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning), the ICEA (International Council for Adult Education), the CENTER INFFO and many others who have joined us on the way or are rallying for the interest of the topic.
