Synopsis
The course is designed to empower health professionals and their community partners to lead climate-health solutions by building skills in community organizing, strategic storytelling, and health equity leadership. It is intended for health professionals worldwide who provide direct patient care (physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, social workers, physician assistants, psychologists) and for community partners working with health professionals (public health professionals, non-profit leaders, etc.). The program will begin with an in-person immersion component in Greece, from April 3 to 9, 2027, at CHS Greece. After the in-person immersion concludes, there will be monthly Zoom two-hour sessions for six months until October 2027.
Following their collaboration on the Harvard FXB summer course on migration and refugee studies from 2022 to 2024 and on the first Global COACH Course in 2026, CHS Greece and the Harvard FXB Center for Health and Human Rights are working together again on the program's second edition.
