19.10.2012 - 24.10.2012

Representatives of several international student organizations will arrange a workshop from October 19th – 24th 2012 to accompany the World Health Summit in Berlin (www.worldhealthsummit.org). The workshop will be designed as a series of activities, emphasizing the important role of students in the vast area of global health. The concept has been specifically created for the World Health Summit – for students, by students.

Encouraged by the success of the „BVMD Week of Global Health Education“, which accompanied the World Health Summit 2011, the organizers implement the idea of a workshop-week on Global Health again, supported by several international student organizations. The workshop’s activities will enable participants to explore the multi-facetted world of Global Health via discussing topics as Patient and Community Health; the leading role of physicians in this context; the role of international institutions and governments; the access of reliable information on Global Health issues.

The workshop will be both theoretical and practical. Through short interactive lectures, trainings and exercises, students will learn to use the theoretical knowledge in practice. Daily briefings, discussions and reflections on the day will be part of the workshop routine.

Application deadline: September 16th 2012. Applications are to include a CV (max. 2 pages) + letter of motivation (max. 1/2 page)
