    Year in Review 2024: An AI-generated podcast about The Geneva Learning Foundation’s progress
    Jan 11 2025
    An AI-generated dialogue exploring The Geneva Learning Foundation’s progress in 2024 This experimental AI-generated podcast demonstrates a novel approach to exploring complex learning concepts through structured dialogue. Based on TGLF’s 2024 end-of-year message and supplementary materials, the conversation examines their peer learning model through a combination of concrete examples and theoretical reflection. The dialogue format enables exploration of how knowledge emerges through structured interaction, even in AI-generated content. Experimental nature and limitations: This content is being shared as an exploration of how AI might contribute to learning and knowledge construction. While based on TGLF’s actual 2024 message, the dialogue includes AI-generated elaborations that may contain inaccuracies. However, these limitations themselves provide interesting insights into how knowledge emerges through interaction, even in artificial contexts. Pedagogical value and theoretical implications: 1. Structured knowledge construction: The conversational format illustrates how knowledge can emerge through carefully structured dialogue, even when artificially generated. This mirrors TGLF’s own insights about how structure enables rather than constrains learning. 2. Multi-level learning: The dialogue operates on multiple levels: - Direct information sharing about TGLF’s work - Modeling of reflective dialogue - Meta-level exploration of how knowledge emerges through interaction - Integration of concrete examples with theoretical reflection 1. Network effects in learning: The conversation demonstrates how different types of knowledge (statistical, narrative, theoretical, practical) can be woven together through dialogue to create deeper understanding. This parallels TGLF’s observations about how learning emerges through structured networks of interaction. We invite listeners to consider: - How dialogue enables exploration of complex ideas - The role of structure in enabling knowledge emergence - The relationship between concrete examples and theoretical understanding - The potential and limitations of AI in supporting learning processes This experiment invites reflection not just on the content itself, but on how knowledge and understanding emerge through structured interaction - whether human or artificial. Your insights about how this format affects your understanding will help inform future explorations of AI’s role in learning. What aspects of the dialogue format enhanced or hindered your understanding? How did the interplay of concrete examples and reflective discussion affect your learning? We welcome your thoughts on these deeper questions about how learning happens through structured interaction.

  • Climate change and health from developing countries: insights from 1200+ health workers

    Climate change and health from developing countries: insights from 1200+ health workers
    Apr 11 2024
    Today, the Geneva Learning Foundation’s Charlotte Mbuh delivered a presentation at the Online Expert Seminar on Climate Change and Health: Perspectives from Developing Countries. #ClimateCrisis #GlobalHealth The event was organized by the International Expert Centre of Climate Change and Health (IECCCH) at the Research and Transfer Centre Sustainable Development and Climate Change Management, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, in collaboration with the European School of Sustainability Science and Research (ESSSR), the UK Consortium on Sustainability Research (UK-CSR), and the Inter-University Sustainable Development Research Programme (IUSDRP). Mbuh shared insights from a report based on observations from frontline health workers on the impact of climate change on health in their communities. The Geneva Learning Foundation, a Swiss non-profit, facilitated two digital events in July 2023, engaging 4,700 health practitioners from 68 countries who submitted 1,260 observations. Watch the special event “From community to planet: Health professionals on the frontlines of climate change” https://www.learning.foundation/climate Get the insights from 1200+ health workers on the frontline of climate and health https://www.learning.foundation/cop28 “93% of respondents believed that there was a link between climate change and health, and they reported a direct local experience of a wide range of climatic and environmental impacts,” Mbuh stated. The most commonly reported impacts were on farming and farmland, the distribution of disease-carrying insects, and urban areas becoming hotter. Health impacts linked to these climatic and environmental changes included increased malnutrition and/or undernutrition, increased waterborne diseases, and changes to the incidence and distribution of vector-borne diseases. Mbuh emphasized that these impacts were particularly prevalent in smaller communities or mid-sized towns. Mbuh highlighted the unique role of frontline health workers as trusted advisors to their communities: “Frontline health workers are trusted advisors of the communities that they serve, and they have unique insights to local realities and are strategically positioned to bring about change,” she said. The Geneva Learning Foundation aims to leverage its digitally-enabled peer learning network of health workers to drive change across different levels of the health system and geographical boundaries. Mbuh concluded : “These experiences demonstrate the importance of community engagement, sustainable practices, and support from relevant stakeholders in addressing the climate health nexus and building resilience in the face of a changing climate.” The presentation underscored the urgent need to invest in frontline health workers at the local level to build resilience against the impacts of climate change on health, particularly in vulnerable communities in developing countries.

  • ASTMH Symposium: What learning science underpins peer learning for global health? #TropMed23

    ASTMH Symposium: What learning science underpins peer learning for global health? #TropMed23
    Feb 10 2024
    “If health workers do not share their challenges and solutions, we are bound to fail.” Most significant learning that contributes to improved performance takes place outside of formal training. It occurs through informal and incidental forms of learning between peers. Effective use of peer learning requires realizing how much we can learn from each other (peer learning), experiencing the power of defying distance to solve problems together (remote learning), and feeling a growing sense of belonging to a community (social learning), emergent across country borders and health system levels (networked learning). At the ASTMH annual meeting Symposium organized by Julie Jacobson, two TGLF Alumnae, María Monzón from Argentina and Ruth Allotey from Ghana, will be sharing their analyses and reflections of how they turned peer learning into action, results, and impact. In his presentation, Reda Sadki, president of The Geneva Learning Foundation (TGLF), will explore: 1. What do we need to understand about digital learning? 2. Networked learning: rethinking learning architecture in the Digital Age 3. Social learning: peer learning is about making human connections 4. Practical examples of TGLF peer learning systems for WHO, Wellcome, UNICEF, and Bridges to Development that connect learning to change, results, and impact. 6. Emergent peer learning systems driven by local practitioner and community needs and priorities.
