“From Okanagan to Limerick: A Global Journey Toward Health Promoting U.S. Campuses.” In 2015, the Okanagan Charter invited colleges and universities to reimagine campus health through a health promotion lens. Ten years later, the Limerick Framework for Action builds on that vision—offering practical, action-oriented strategies for creating healthier planet, places, and people. This recorded webinar takes viewers through the evolution from Charter to Framework and invites them to consider how global health-promoting concepts can inspire and translate to action to support student success and community well-being in our current U.S. context. https://www.acha.org/resource/from-okanagan-to-limerick-a-global-journey-toward-health-promoting-u-s-campuses/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=rasa_io&utm_campaign=newsletter
