Introducing the Social Protection Certificate

This webinar will provide an overview of the accredited Social Protection Certificate Program offered by the Heidelberg Institute of Global Health. Our courses were developed in cooperation with a range of partners and experts, stemming from both academic and professional backgrounds. We offer online and face-to-face courses, which allow participants to engage directly with our lectures here in Heidelberg. Our courses are both suitable for students, who can collect ECTs towards their degrees, and for practitioners, who learn the skills necessary to have a real-world impact. The Webinar will take place on the 9th of December at 5PM (CET) and will take 1 hour approximately. We are happy to answer your questions! Please register here if you would like to attend the webinar or receive a recording of it and we will make sure to send you reminders and updates.

University Cooperation with Tunesia

Tunis-Heidelberg

The Heidelberg Institute of Global Health conducted a training-of-trainers workshop on “Decision making in Public Health” in Tunis between 23-26 October 2019. The joint event aimed at strengthening Public Health capacities in Tunisia brought together 20 medical professionals from the Observatoire National des Maladies Nouvelles et Émergentes (OMNME = National Observatory for New and Emerging Diseases), the Ministry of Health, the University of Tunis and regional health centers.

One year ago, all of us decided to start a journey in which we probably needed to leave our homes, friends, and family. Even if the main goal was to learn in the classes, nothing can be compared to what I have learned from the experiences with all my classmates and teachers. During this year, I learnt from the power of the social fights.
