SUMMARY:Sustainable Community Development
DESCRIPTION:The challenges affecting communities in the developing wor
 ld are numerous and complex. How can development practitioners make po
 sitive change among the inter-related—yet often-competing—health, 
 economic, infrastructure, educational, sociopolitical, and cultural sy
 stems? No single discipline or organization alone can solve the multit
 ude of problems facing developing communities. Neither can an interdis
 ciplinary team. No solution will be sustainable without community part
 icipation.\n\nWith the community as an empowered partner, solutions ca
 n be found using interdisciplinary teams of engineers, physicians, pub
 lic health professional, agricultural experts, entrepreneurs and busin
 ess leaders, social scientists, educators, health professionals, and d
 evelopment communications specialists.\n\n<b>Description</b>\n\nThis i
 ntensive 5-day course will focus on methods to improve the quality of 
 life and to prevent diseases and other health problems in the developi
 ng world. An inter-disciplinary participatory approach to assessing co
 mmunity needs and planning sustainable interventions is emphasized. Th
 e course will combine lectures, seminars, experiential exercises and t
 eam-based problem solving to integrate core topics. This course will p
 rovide participants with knowledge, skills, and frameworks from multip
 le disciplines:\n<ul type=\"diamond\">\n<li>public health</li>\n<li>me
