About Us

Health as a Bridge to Peace (HBP) is a student club at York University, Toronto, founded in 2007. The club was established by a group of students, staff, and faculty members in the university who wanted to encourage dialogue on campus and create an environment where members in our community could explore perspectives related to health, peace, community, culture, identity, resilience.

HBP's Mission
Health as a Bridge for Peace strives to encourage cooperation by getting people to work towards a common goal. Health encompasses broad themes such as spirituality, social determinants of health, physical and mental well-being. The club uses health to foster peaceful cooperation both at the campus and international level through various events, shared projects and networking. Using the principles of the Canada International Scientific Exchange Program (CISEPO; www.cisepo.ca) and Global Youth Voices (www.globalyouthvoices.org), the club hopes to build positive relations on campus and internationally.
