On 1 June 2022, please join us for a webinar celebrating 5 years of WHO’s open learning platform for health emergencies, OpenWHO.org. The free event will be held from 11:30 – 13:30 CEST and is open to anyone interested. You can register for the webinar here. WHO launched OpenWHO in June 2017 to facilitate the transfer of public health knowledge for emergencies on a massive scale in anticipation of the next pandemic. Grounded in the principles of open access and equity, courses are free, self-paced, accessible in low-bandwidth and offline formats, and available in national and local languages. After serving responders in outbreaks from Ebola to plague, OpenWHO dramatically scaled up course production for the COVID-19 pandemic, making life-saving information from WHO experts available online at a time when lockdowns and social distancing limited our ability to physically come together to learn. |  |
The 1 June webinar will be divided into 2 parts:
- Behind the scenes with OpenWHO (11:30 – 12:40 CEST)
This session will explore OpenWHO’s journey from June 2017 to today with WHO leaders who shaped the open learning platform and paved the way for its pandemic response.
- Disseminating learning for vulnerable contexts (12:40 – 13:30 CEST)
This session will feature partners’ experiences disseminating public health emergency learning and the impact it has made on vulnerable contexts.
We look forward to seeing you on 1 June to celebrate 5 years of OpenWHO!
