The course focuses on the intersection on understanding, pragmatic application and learning in the domains of medicine, agriculture, climate change, chronic diseases and disabilities as featured in the World Health Organization National Report 2022, and presented to Parliament.
When asked about the best part of the course, students from the 2023 winter school edition answered:
“Novel, exciting, inspiring! I especially appreciated the way the lecturers interacted with the students, always on hand to answer questions, to explain queries or to elaborate. The course is a fresh breeze – a brilliant combination of classic textbook learning combined with practical, real life application.”
“The balance between in-depth theory and practical use cases and demonstrations. The experience ahs been incredible, especially the demonstrations in person.
