Global Ideas is an interdisciplinary community committed to practical action for global health equity. Global Ideas is on a mission to create and connect the next generation of global health leaders, and therefore we seek to engage younger people in Australia to build their capacity to lead change for better health equity in Australia and our region. Recognising that global health challenges are complex, unpredictable, interdependent and often driven by factors outside the health sector, our programs draw participants from our diverse, next-generation, interdisciplinary community to provide action oriented learning in three Programs including: The Global Ideas Forum, our popular annual conference. A foundational crash-course on cutting-edge global health thinking, presented by leading global experts and home-grown innovators from a diverse array of industries and perspectives. The Global Ideas Labs, small group facilitated discussion. This series provides deeper dives into challenging topics relevant to the Asia-Pacific. Curious audiences will interact with panels that bring an unusual cross-disciplinary mix of next-gen practitioners together with the latest in global health research and thinking. The Global Ideas Design Jams, problem-based experiential learning for global health action. The Design Jam series brings the process of design thinking and entrepreneurship to the global health and development context.
