The IFGH Student Outreach Group was formed to give students a stronger voice in the IFGH. It is composed of a group of current students and recent graduates of courses related to global health and development. This group allows the students to contribute new and innovative ideas, purchase helps ensure that the IFGH is meeting student needs, and provides members with exciting opportunities and connections in the field of global health.
Last year, students of the group were the driving force behind the addition of the Global Health Village to the IFGH 2012 International Conference and the first IFGH Global Health Debate. This year, the group is organising activites around World Toilet Day (November 2013), World AIDS Day (December 2013) and International Women’s Day (March 2014), among others. The contributions they make to the IFGH has a direct impact on the work we do.
If you have ideas for the group or would like to apply to serve as a college representative, please email: info@globalhealth.ie
