While progress of all kinds has increased life expectancy in recent decades, health and well-being education remains a key issue for populations. Climate change, current lifestyles and their consequences on health will be reflected in profound structural and geopolitical changes. To avoid or reduce these consequences, we must learn throughout life to behave differently in our relationship to ourselves, to others and to the planet.For the future, health education must be extended to all dimensions of life. It is necessary to learn how to eat in a healthy way, how to use and share the available resources of the planet in an intelligent and sustainable way. The development of skills related to changes in health professions is a major challenge with regard to these health and social needs.

This conference-debate, which aims to raise awareness and provide keys to understanding contemporary public health issues, based on inspiring initiatives and actions, will be introduced by Rafaël RICARDOU, Head of Department Cité des métiers - Cité de la health, Universcience, and moderated by Alexandre GINOYER, president of the CMAtlv.
