Global Health and Development Learning Circle - Session 5

​Session 5 - Global Health & Development Learning Circle: Exploring Human Progress together

​​​Join the EA Global Health & Development community for a six-part learning and discussion series based on David Nash’s course on "The History and Future of Human Progress". See here for more information on the course and its contents.

​​​We’ll meet monthly on Zoom (fifth session: 13th of April, 19:00–20:30) to discuss one major theme each time — from vaccines and education to democracy and global governance.

​​​This series is part course and part community space:
🌍 Learn through podcasts, videos, and readings at your own pace.
💭 Discuss key questions together in a relaxed, guided format.
🤝 Connect with others; from newcomers to experienced professionals, and share insights, frustrations, and creative ideas for the future of our field.

​​​Each 1.5-hour session will include:

• ​​​A short icebreaker;

• ​​​Good news updates;

• ​​​“Show & tell” of new findings in the global health and development field;

• ​​​Guided discussion;

• ​​​Takeaways.

​For session 5: We will be discussing chapter 4 "Economic Growth" from David Nash' course. If you have the time, please read the following Our World In Data article: https://ourworldindata.org/what-is-economic-growth

​​​Who it’s for:
