Intergenerational Masterclass on Health, Policy, and Leadership 2024

A recent Global Health Leadership Masterclass brought together emerging leaders to explore innovative approaches to global health challenges. The event featured in-depth discussions on systems thinking, persuasive communication, and navigating the political economy of health, equipping participants with the tools needed to drive meaningful change.

From nearly 300 applications across Victoria, Australia, and the broader Asia Pacific region, 45 scholars were selected to participate. These individuals engaged in dynamic panels, interactive workshops, and thought-provoking keynote sessions led by prominent leaders from Australia and around the world. The masterclass provided a collaborative platform to share insights and foster connections among future global health leaders.

Esteemed speakers shared their expertise, offering invaluable perspectives to the participants. Their contributions enriched the experience and underscored the importance of knowledge exchange in tackling global health issues. The event also highlighted the dedication of its organizing team and collaborators, whose efforts ensured the masterclass's success.

Acknowledgment was given to key contributors, including Dr. Sandro Demaio, whose leadership and vision guided the project, and the support team from various organizations, such as Monash University, the Australian Global Health Alliance, and Karolinska Institutet, who played pivotal roles in the event's execution.

The week concluded with additional enriching experiences, including participation in the 2024 World Health Summit Regional Meeting and a unique Food Diplomacy dinner hosted by social enterprise Free to Feed. These events capped off a transformative journey of learning, collaboration, and innovation for all involved.

The masterclass not only provided a platform for exchanging ideas but also forged impactful connections and laid the groundwork for future advancements in global health leadership.
