One aim of the project was to conduct a survey about training needs and future skill demands in the sector of health promotion based on similar methodology in Estonia and Finland.

While the international health promotion core competencies and professional standards have been described by International Union for Health Promotion and Education (IUHPE), it is important to get deeper contextual, country speci c views and understanding about what is essential in the future (IUHPE 2016). This way the international competence standards can be better applied, taking into consideration the structural as well as situational challenges of public health in speci c countries.
