Become a UCPH student organiser for Global Health Film Days 2022

From 16-27 May 2021, Global health Film Days brought thought-provoking films and debates about our time’s most urgent global health challenges to the big screen.

Global problems require global solutions, and that is the starting point for Global Health Film Days. We want to show films and host debates and events that make people reflect about the interconnectedness of health and wellbeing on our planet. We want people to be inspired and to become changemakers for a more sustainable – and healthy – future.

After living with a pandemic since December 2019, it has become clear to most that health is a global issue. The corona pandemic has shown us that circumstances one place can affect the health of another on the opposite side of the planet at lightning speed. But Global Health is more than infectious diseases and how we deal with them. Climate change, food production, pollution, health policy, mental well-being, reproductive and sexual health and rights, new forms of medical treatment and the right to health care and medicine are just some of the topics that global health deals with. And these are all some of topics you can meet on the big screen at Global Health Film Days.
