NCDFREE Innovation Incubator X Oslo

After a sensational launch in Melbourne, NCDFREE are bringing the Innovation Incubator to Oslo – our latest event which aims to engage the next generation of leaders from health and beyond.

This 150 minute workshop will showcase the wide variety of activities and concepts which NCDFREE has developed and championed since 2013, specifically focusing on the diverse communication and advocacy tools used to engage young professionals and students in the topics of non communicable diseases and Global Health.

Attendees will gain innovative thinking, advocacy and leadership skills through interactive presentations, skill sharing and design-oriented exercises. Ultimately, we aim to connect a diverse group of next generation thinkers and leaders with NCDs, NCDFREE and Global Health through stimulating and exciting activities.

This session will focus on the theme of climate change and health, and therefore we have exclusively secured the voices of emerging leaders Natalie Molino and Dr Sudhvir Singh from the EAT Initiative who will share their knowledge, skills and experiences.

This event is held in collaboration with Norwegian Public Health association and is free for all to participate regardless of background or university affiliation.
