The 2008 Fulbright Symposium will be held from 10-11 July at the National Wine Centre in Adelaide on the theme Healthy People, Prosperous Country.
The symposium will examine how to encourage whole-of-government action to promote health and wellbeing locally and nationally and explore ways in which existing inequities in the health status of different groups in the population can be addressed through broader social action. The Symposium will have a special focus on Indigenous issues.
The Emerging Leaders Forum will be one-day event held after the Symposium for 40 young and emerging leaders. The Forum will help participants learn from examples of action and reflect on what they might do to take action in their own communities.
It is anticipated that the participants will have a range of skills and backgrounds, and so the program delivery and content will be delivered in a participatory way based on expectations expressed by applicants prior to the Symposium.

Limited financial support to facilitate attendance will be available.
