Project Overview - Dissemination
The dissemination plan for the project focused on these
main avenues:
• U.S./international: The U.S./international
avenue included the five following activities: (1) a project report for ALO,
(2) a monograph to be written and published by UNF faculty, (3) a project
report posted on the FLAWI website (http://www.unf.edu/dept/flawi), (4) follow-up
articles in academic journals, and (5) one presentation at a health conference
for nurses and other presentations at conferences held by other educational
organizations.
• Senegal: The dissemination in Senegal centered
on three conferences in Dakar: (1) the first, on the community college concept
to provide a framework for the health program, was held in November 2001 in
Dakar; (2) the second was held in March 2003 in Bambey to present the results
of the ALO/UDC grant; and (3) the third , focusing on community college curriculum
and its articulation potential with other institutions in high education,
was held at the American Cultural Center in Dakar for university administrators
and faculty as well as secondary school administrators. The presenters at
the conferences included faculty participants from the UNF College of Health,
FCCJ administration, faculty from Bambey District, and from the CUR.
At the Bambey conference, interpreters from the community were used to present
the material appropriately to the different groups involved in the project.
The material was translated into French and Wolof for the benefit of the notables
and invited attendees who came as representatives of the Bambey District and
as representatives of their regions where the same project model, combining
education and community health, might be applied.
