forbid smoking, alcohol drinking, non-helmet motorcycle driving and/or

gambling within the institutions . Promotion of exercises and green

environment in universities are also commonly observed.

• AUN-HPN is planning to promote the concept of healthy university in

ASEAN.

• The activity will begin with the development of health university

framework. A workshop will be organized on 29-30 August 2016 to invite

experts from member universities to develop the frame work which will be

the standard for universities in ASEAN. An invitation will be sent out soon.
