CCL Conference Dates Conference Date: May 17 – 19, 2012 Pre-conference workshops: May 17, 2012 Main Conference: May 17 – 19, 2012
The Cancer, Culture and Literacy Conference offers extraordinary networking and learning opportunities for individuals wanting to learn more about the roles of culture, language and literacy in cancer health disparities and in the design, implementation and evaluation of cancer communications, programs and educational interventions. Hosted by Moffitt Cancer Center, the conference provides a national forum for the exchange and dissemination of information covering current research, innovative communications, novel training programs, and emerging education practices.
This three-day conference offers a number of interactive activities including pre-conference skill-building workshops, plenary and breakout sessions, breakfast roundtables and a poster session. The conference curriculum features community-based participatory research (CBPR) approaches and qualitative methods to inform the development of cancer education media/materials and intervention design.
Conference participants include healthcare professionals, community health workers, advocates and survivors involved in developing cancer communications, innovative materials/media, educational programs and interventions that are tailored to cultural, linguistic and literacy needs of community members, Patients and cancer survivors. A variety of professional accreditation and continuing education contact hours will be offered.
The conference facilitates our understanding of cancer awareness and educational needs in diverse social, cultural, and literacy contexts. Ultimately, the goal is for attendees to incorporate culture and literacy components into the development of their communications, research, educational and outreach programs.
