The Institute for Social medicine, Epidemiology and Health Economics (Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin) and IPPNW Germany offer a one-week full-time course in Global Health Challenges in general and the relationship of Climate Change and Health in particular.

Objective

Theoretical analysis and practical relevance determine the course of our collaborative summer school. It allows joint analysis of complex interactions between globalisation and health. The focus will be on problem- and case-based and participatory learning. Input from experts, internet based research, manuscript analysis, group work, case-studies, presentations and excursions to projects are part of the overall programme. The course is relevant not only to medical students and public health science students but also to others working within health and health systems.
The objective of the Summer School is to introduce the students to complex interactions between globalisation and health in general. Furthermore the topic of this year’s course "Climate Change, Violence and Health" will provide the basis for work during the Summer School and a one-day Alumni meeting and conference.

Speakers
Speakers come from national and international institutions of higher education. Persons with specific global health competence and experience are also part of the faculty.

Course certificate
A course certificate will be issued upon completion of the course.

Course structure
The course is taught in English. Lectures are held between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. There will be one or more social arrangements in the evening depending on the course participants’ interests and own requests.
