COURSE PARTICIPANT BLOGS and short stories

Each year, the participants of CoPEH-Canada's hybrid course write a blog or short story on a topic of their choice related to ecosystem approaches to health and share with the other participants. Then everyone votes on their top three and the three highest scoring pieces are published here. Along with the votes, participants have to provide a tweet for each blog they voted for, which we then use to publisize the blogs from our @copeh_canada twitter account
