Ubuntu is a recognition of our interconnectedness, a call to community, solidarity, and humanity for all.
The ICID Ubuntu Community Village (UCV) will be a lively, interesting space that will bring together youth, community members, midwives and other health professionals, Civil Society Organizations, and others working on and impacted by AMR, HIV, TB, or other infectious diseases within a One Health context to interact, learn, share, make new connections, strengthen existing networks and celebrate successes. The UCV will also act as a bridge between the more technical scientific sessions at the ICID 2024 and the community action, by sharing the issues in a manner that is more lucid, relevant, and easily translatable/applicable at the grassroots.
There will be a mix of live performances, documentaries/films, music, art, dance, skills building and best practice sharing workshops, speaker sessions/presentations, debates, and other exciting cultural activities, all based on feedback and applications from the diversity of community-connected individuals, groups, and organizations. Key proceedings from the UCV will also be captured and shared on various ISID platforms.
Are you a community-connected individual, group, or organization working on and impacted by AMR, HIV, TB, or other infectious diseases within a One Health context? Would you like to participate or present at the ICID Ubuntu Community Village? Please tell us more!
