Abstract

How does health promotion education advance in the twenty-first century? The purpose of this section is to highlight some transformational contributions, which include connections and innovations from all over the world. In the six chapters, the readers would read and reflect about teaching activities for undergraduate, graduate, and continuous education. The initiatives are local, regional, and global. The examples described here foster the empowerment of different sorts of communities, including but extrapolating academic settings. Each chapter reaffirms the focus on equity and ethical HP in a peculiar way. Turning the transformational concept into action, reducing the gap between theory and praxis, and sharing these examples, we hope to cultivate advances in HP education in the twenty-first century.
