Participatory Youth Engagement: Envisioning Healthier Futures in Johannesburg and Cambridge
How can public health practice begin with what young people know, need, and imagine?
DrPH students Matthew McCurdy and Sana Khan will share what they learned over the summer working alongside youth in determining healthy futures.
In Johannesburg, young people explored the conditions shaping their well-being and imagined preferred futures to inform BLKHLTH South Africa’s emerging youth strategy (pictured above). In Cambridge, the Resilient Sisterhood Project shares community-based participatory findings on what youth need for healthy menstrual health experiences.
Join us to consider how youth expertise can shape public health priorities and practice.
This event is co-sponsored with the Community Engagement in Public Health Research and Practice concentration.
A light lunch will be provided. RSVP at this link.
