Would you like to share your experience and knowledge?

We invite you to send your proposal to present a workshop and share new creative ideas and information with promotoras, community health workers (CHWs) and other members and leaders of the community from the United States and Latin America.

GOAL OF THE CONFERENCE

The goal of the conference is to create a space where experiences and ideas can be exchanged among promotoras and other participants that foster the learning of new skills, knowledge and advocacy for our communities.

WORKSHOP REQUIREMENTS

• Please complete one form for each workshop proposal you submit.

• If your proposal is selected, the facilitator(s) MUST participate in an online orientation webinar on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at 9:00 am where we will provide logistical information and address questions or concerns.

THE WORKSHOP MUST:

• Be developed and presented entirely in Spanish, except for workshops intended for youth or administrators.
• Explain how the topic will be presented in a creative way.
• Have a duration of 90 minutes (1.5 hours). This time must include:
  • A welcome and introduction of the facilitator by the workshop moderator (5 minutes).
  • Presentation of the content using interactive or experiential methodologies designed for adults (maximum of 80 minutes). These 80 minutes must include time for questions and answers.
  • 5 minutes for participants to complete the workshop evaluation form provided by Visión y Compromiso.
• Along with the proposal, all materials planned for use during the workshop must be submitted in Spanish and in digital format (PowerPoint presentations, flyers, additional resources).  These materials will be provided to all conference participants after the conference through a web link.
• Workshop facilitator(s) will work with a promotora moderator assigned by the program committee, who will provide the audio/visual equipment requested, introduce the facilitator to the audience at the beginning of the workshop, keep time, and coordinate the collection of the written evaluations for the workshop.

A PROPOSAL WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

• If a facilitator markets or promotes a product or service at a cost. A product or service may only be included as part of a complete list of resources that all participants receive and that has been submitted with the proposal.
• If the proposal is not complete or not received by the due date.

NOTE: Visión y Compromiso may modify your workshop title, description and objectives in order to fit within the registration and program guidelines. Please follow the guidelines provided, stay within the word limitations, provide clear objectives and a descriptive and creative title.

NOTE: We strongly encourage you to submit a proposal that integrates a holistic approach to your topic. Take into account all aspects of people’s needs including physical, psychological, and social. We also want you to consider age to encourage youth participation. Integrate technology or social media and if these tools relate to your topic, we encourage you to present them.

NOTE: Design your proposal with the diverse needs of promotoras and CHW's in mind.  We require that you design your workshop to be interactive and encourage dialogue and other participatory methodologies for adult learners. Please consider that participants may have different levels of experience and knowledge about the subject you propose. This year we want to encourage the participation of young promotores. We invite you to submit proposals that are relevant to this group.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES: List three learning objectives for your workshop.
Example: "By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to name three types of domestic violence."

This part of the proposal is very important; describe in detail the plan for how your workshop will be facilitated. The presentation will be 90 minutes, which includes:

• 5 minutes for Welcome and Introduction of the presenter by the workshop moderator.
• 5 minutes for participants to complete the written workshop evaluation provided by Visión y Compromiso.

Please use the table below using no more than 80 minutes (maximum) to outline presentation of content by the facilitator(s) USING INTERACTIVE and/or EXPERIENTIAL adult learning methodologies. Please include within these 80 minutes a space for Questions and Answers.

NOTE: There will not be room changes, or equipment requests after September 11, 2026.
