The EUPHAM Inaugural Conference, as an opening module event, will be held on March 9, starting at 11:00AM, at the premises of the University SSST.

Besides the Module lecturers, including relevant government representatives and key public health sector officials from the country, it is also expected for the IOM representatives to be speaking at the event.

 

The organizers will briefly present the module specific goals and outline the expected outcomes – to raise awareness and provide insight for student population, but also to promote open access to public health initiatives and structures for all people on the move.

EUPHAM Summer school

EUPHAM summer schools will be following the Module’s acitivity as separate non-teaching events. Events will be open to local and international students majoring in medicine or political science, as well as other interested applicants including government and/or civil society workers.

The lecture activities will be organized during first five days, day six being a simulation activity for participants. External guest lecturers as field experts, besides EUPHAM engaged professionals, will also be participating.

Tentative dates for both events are planned for July 2022 and 2023.

 

All information coming soon.

Model launching

The Political Science and International Relations Faculty, working together with the Sarajevo Medical School of the University SSST will be implementing the European Public Health and Migrations module – EUPHAM. The project is developed under the Jean Monnet Module of the Erasmus+ Charter umbrella and will deal with the highly sensitive and pressing issues of increased global public health dangers and migration crisis.

 

Being one of the Western Balkans countries most affected by the migrant crisis, it seemed more than relevant to establish an academic module, open to domestic and international students, as well as NGOs, humanitarian organizations and investigative journalists, that will analyze the interplay between EU public health policies and global migration.

 

 

The module will be launched on March 3d, 2022 with an inaugural conference, and will continue with specifically outlined teaching module open to international and domestic participants alike. The timetable of the activities will be updated soon. 

Stakeholder workshop

EUPHAM Stakeholder workshops will be specifically tailored for local and international stakeholders working in the public health sector with a particular focus on migrant population.

Workshops also invite media representatives and all interested stakeholders to take part in activities designed to raise awareness to conjuncture between public health and migrants in the country.

All activities, including workshops agenda will be published soon.

 

Tentative dates for both events are November 2022 and April 2024.
