This project introduces a simulation-based learning experience focused on global health emergency response through the lens of regenerative sustainability. Over two class sessions, students will collaborate on a fictional global health scenario, supported by professionals in the field. This scenario-based learning project helps students connect theoretical concepts and practical decision-making and strengthens the ability to understand complex, uncertain, and ethical tensions that define global health practice. Students learn to consider diverse determinants of health, negotiate stakeholder interests, and justify interventions using data and equity-focused reasoning. The exercise also mirrors real professional environments, helping students build confidence and transferable competencies. This project aligns with SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
WAY TO GO, CHELSEA! ๐
