Welcome to the second installment of IGHNx the event that turns global health topics on their head, and challenges the way we think about common themes.

We first held this event in 2023 and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive, so we are back to do it all again! IGHNx: Global Health Reimagined is co-hosted with the HSE Global Health Programme and will be held at Dublin Castle on Thursday 13th February 2025.

We look forward to welcoming you to this engaging event, filled with creativity, inspiration, and innovation.

Background

As an Irish community committed and passionate about equity, humanity, and inclusivity, we bring to you our very own version of a TEDx event; IGHNx. A break from our usual style of conference, this event steps away from the mainstream and delves into a world of diverse thinking, passion, and creativity. We want to flip the narrative and illuminate the much-discussed topics of global health in a whole new light. This event gave us an opportunity to come together as a community and discuss these topics to broaden our knowledge and understanding of them, and most importantly, to ensure that the communities we are fighting for, the farthest left behind, are brought to the forefront of these talks. 

The event consists of a variety of short talks on a range of topics related to global health. The talks will be interspersed with creative performances including music, poetry, comedy, storytelling, and more. Not forgetting our Global Health Village; set up like a village, with individual stalls representing NGO’s, higher education institutions, and various other organisations, it is a vibrant place for knowledge sharing and exchange of ideas. Additionally, the event provides wonderful opportunities for networking. 

The Talks 

The talks follow a TED talk format, where the topics discussed challenge your thinking and deliver thought-provoking questions on topics surrounding the broad theme of Global Health. Fundamental to each of these talks is their ability to inspire creativity, enhance innovation, and promote activism on each of the topic areas.  Although these talks are short, at just 13 minutes long, the knowledge possessed by the speakers on their topics and the passion they have for them will leave you with a whole new way of thinking about and approaching these topics.
