We would love to have you participate! About: The primary objective of this interactive webinar is to collectively identify a set of foundational “cross-cutting principles” for planetary health education to assist in anchoring and thereby strengthening emerging educational efforts in planetary health around the world. We envision that the cross-cutting principles brainstormed at this webinar and in additional discussion forums will serve as fodder for a commentary piece for publication, as well as support the continuous development of the PHA planetary health educational platform. Dates: June 13th, 10am-12pm EST June 22nd, 2pm-4pm EST *Both sessions will be identical to accommodate different schedules and time zones.* More information: The novel technology, developed by MIT’s Media Lab, that will be used to facilitate this webinar (Unhangout) will enable large-scale, participant-driven online discussion of these cross-cutting principles. After initial remarks by the PHA Education Fellow Sara Stone, participants will be able to join breakout discussions via small group video chats for in-depth conversations and brainstorming.   Register Here Please reach out to pha@harvard.edu with any questions. We look forward to seeing you there! Thanks, Sara Stone Planetary Health Education Fellow
