Ever wonder what happens when you put students, health pros, and big thinkers from around the world in the same room?

At the Reciprocal Innovation workshop, we mapped everyone who makes global health tick, from doctors and midwives to funders, governments, and communities on the ground.

The goal? Swap ideas across borders, flip the usual flow of ‘innovation,’ and create solutions that actually work for the people they’re meant for.

The vibes? Electric. The conversations? Mind-opening.

If you want to spend a week meeting inspiring people, sharing your ideas, and building real solutions to global challenges, don’t miss the next Global Health Summer School. Your seat at the table is waiting. 🙌

Decolonizing Global Health isn’t a trend, it’s a necessity.

At our Summer School, we don’t just talk about global health, we interrogate it. We ask: Who holds the power? Whose voices are missing? Who decides what ‘help’ looks like, and for whom?

The truth is: the global health system wasn’t built for everyone. Vaccine apartheid, funding inequality, and epistemic injustice all show us the same thing, global health, as it exists, still wears colonial roots.
But here? We challenge that. We go beyond the buzzwords. We center lived experience, critical inquiry, intersectionality, and real action. We’re not here for virtue signaling. We’re here for structural change.

Do you want to be part of a generation that reimagines health justice from the ground up? That believes global health should be co-created, not imposed?
Then come join us. Summer School 2026 is for those who are ready to unlearn, rethink, and build better.

We are stronger together, and we’re building a future where no one is left behind.

Day 4 still going strong🔥

We turned up the heat with “Clearing the Air”, a high-stakes simulated debate on medical waste disposal
Delegates from Brazil 🇧🇷, China 🇨🇳, and the Netherlands 🇳🇱 went head-to-head over solutions to air pollution caused by healthcare waste

Facts were flying and so were the tensions👀

As promised, here’s Part 2 of our first day of the educational programme! 📚

After a morning filled with engaging lectures and plenty of coffee, we enjoyed a tasty lunch at the UMCG canteen 🍽️

And the day just kept getting better!!

Renzo Tuinsma led us on a tour that even impressed those of us who thought we knew UMCG inside out! He revealed hidden rooms, shared fascinating stories, and walked us through the history of the place, making us feel truly connected to it 💙
