To foster reflection and engagement, participants are required to submit a one-page statement outlining their current interests in Planetary Health. This exercise is intended to empower participants, strengthen their sense of purpose, and increase their confidence in taking collective and transformative action for a healthier planet and population.

The Summer School is organized by the Catholic University of Health and Allied Sciences (CUHAS) in Mwanza, Tanzania, the University and University Hospital of Würzburg, and the University of Eldoret (UoE) in Kenya.
