IAPHL sessions: Co-creating the Future
Held on Friday 8 March, “Co-Creating the Future” is a two-part series of interactive sessions focused on shaping the future of public health supply chains — with an emphasis on elevating workforce voices. We will gather as a community of practitioners and dig deeper into the topics, approaches, and ideas surfaced over the course of the Indaba in order to:
- Imagine possible futures
- Explore emerging tools and solutions
- Gain/share knowledge and skills with peers
- Create connections and strengthen networks
- Contribute to shaping IAPHL’s strategic direction and agenda
Session details:
Workforce Futures: Voices & Visions / 8:45-10:15am — Drawing on futuring and foresight methods, we will envision possible health supply chain futures and explore the roles and influence of the workforce.
The Workforce of the Future Think Tank / 10:40am-12:45pm — A series of open discussions, proposed and led by Indaba participants, that dig deeper into the most pressing topics and issues facing the workforce of the future and identify potential new directions and actions. These are informal, 35-minute small group discussions — no presentations or projections!
IAPHL concierge services
IAPHL is also providing a range of “concierge” services to participants, including:
- IAPHL Rally Point — An informal, friendly space where participants can relax, connect, and share emerging insights.
- Skill Share — A matchmaking service to connect people who want to learn, with people who want to share.
- WhatsApp Group — An IAPHL@Indaba WhatsApp group to connect and coordinate with other members attending the conference. Feel free to post messages in either English or en Français. This is also a place where you can offer or ask to share a skill.
