ABSTRACT

In April 2019, educators from around Aotearoa (New Zealand) and Australia came together to share their experiences of teaching Indigenous public health. The inaugural International Indigenous Public Health Education Leadership Symposium provided an opportunity to (i) discuss the range of challenges of this work, and (ii) to affirm a collective aspiration to strengthen the contribution of public health education to improved Indigenous outcomes. Talking across the borders of individual institutions, distinct cultures and nations enabled a rich conversation about the interface of health and Indigenous education. We explored the twin agendas of decolonisation and indigenisation, meeting the respective needs of Indigenous and non-Indigenous students, and how to best mobilise Indigenous public health leadership. This article will outline the discussion that unfolded and that led to the establishment of an inclusive Australia/Aotearoa/South Pacific Indigenous public health education entity and network.

摘要

2019年4月，来自Aotearoa（新西兰）和澳大利亚各地的教育工作者聚集在一起，分享了他们在教授土著公共健康方面的经验。首届国际土著公共健康教育领导力研讨会为（i）讨论这项工作面临的挑战，以及（ii）确认集体愿望，以加强公共健康教育对改善土著成果的贡献提供了机会。跨越各个机构，不同文化和国家的界限进行对话，使人们对健康与土著教育之间的联系进行了丰富的讨论。我们探讨了非殖民化和土著化的双重议程，以满足土著和非土著学生的各自需求，以及如何最好地动员土著公共卫生领导层。
