Dancing with elephants

New partnerships for health, democracy, business

30 SEPTEMBER - 2 OCTOBER 2020 | GOING DIGITAL

The determinants of health and well-being are often driven by the interests of big players, which are not always aligned with public health agendas. In order to purposefully engage with these giants while safeguarding the interests of people, we need to conceptualise new partnership models – learn to “dance with elephants” - but we should be careful not to get our toes crushed. The COVID-19 pandemic has put into sharp focus the current fault lines in our systems and highlighted the need for true cross-sector and cross-border collaboration.

Plenaries

Opening Plenary: Recovering from the pandemic
Thursday Plenary: A year of disturbance and disruption
Closing Plenary: Health politics beyond COVID-19
