Abstract: One Health Education Approaches are evolving rapidly and significantly. This webinar serves as an introduction to the One Health and Water certificate program, coordinated by three distinct schools in France. Despite the challenges posed by differing disciplines and professional environments—public health, veterinary, and agronomy/ecology—the program aims to target a broad spectrum of professionals, including environmental, human, and animal health professionals, administrative personnel, agricultural experts, agency professionals, and elected officials. The webinar will present the content, the skills, the teaching methods and the combination of theory and practices addressing various aspects related to water challenges.
