#FORUM2 ✨🎉Wrapping up our weekend🎉✨
Today we’ve elected our incoming executives, had shared lunch with National council and shared our local and international opportunities through a ‘living library’. Can not wait to see all the awesome global health work that our delegates have been inspired to do! Ta ta for now 👋
#FORUM2 ☀️🥯 Day 2 off to a healthy start🥯☀️
Our delegates are starting the day off with DIY granola cups. Also big congrats to our International team for presenting their IFMSA report and our Global Health chair for presenting the global health report at National council!
#FORUM2 🥗Lunchtime + rally sign painting 🎨
AMSA Global Health forum delegates are enjoying vegan lunch under the warm QLD sunshine. Conversation is flowing and so is paint for making rally signs for Friday’s climate rally
#FORUM2 🚀Day One Blast-Off🚀
Our jam-packed weekend agenda is off to great start with some energising icebreakers, overview of AMSA Global Health 2019, and a discussion with Global Health Groups how we can support student engagement and capacity building in a sustainable way.
==Join our AMSA Global Health 2020 Management Team!!!==
Introducing Jackie Maher, our AMSA Crossing Borders National Project Manager! Check out what she has to say about being part of the AMSA Global Health family this year!
Coming into an AMSA role for the first time had me a bit like this (see pic).
What have I signed up for? Do I know enough?
10 months later and I can’t believe the friends I’ve made and how much I have learned.
As Crossing Border’s National Coordinator this year I have gotten to work closely with an amazing team of people all similarly passionate and with the same values for refugee and asylum seeker health. I had the opportunity to design and represent our 2019 project both nationally and internationally (International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations General Assembly in Taiwan). I have learnt how to manage and coordinate myself, my time and others and what leadership means in practice.
I’ve met countless exciting people on my Mac screen (in the countless online meetings) and while the year involved highs (such as National Palm Sunday Rallies coming together) and lows (advocacy losses) I wouldn’t change a minute of it!
