Virtual Event |
The Oxford Global Health and Care Systems Society are hosting a discussion-based workshop with the aim of gathering participants’ unique lived experiences on how COVID-19 has impacted on the future of global health.
Participants will engage with this overarching question in break-out rooms for a collaborative and iterative discussion process featuring four sub-topics that include:
- international biomedical collaboration in clinical research;
- health systems recovery and strengthening;
- health data and disease surveillance;
- and COVID-19 as a human crisis, where we will explore the politicization and racialization of the pandemic (among other sociocultural aspects of the coronavirus).
There will then be an opportunity to return as a larger group to share and further build upon a plethora of valuable opinions and perspectives that will surely have emerged from the more intimate discussion sessions, and to reach some sort of a co-created, forward-thinking conclusion – or to forego a conclusion altogether, and co-create further questions instead.

Over the past week, we have celebrated the extraordinary Green Templeton community through events, volunteering, competitions, challenges and fundraising for student support. It has been wonderful to see alumni, fellows, supporters, friends, staff and students coming together to show our support for students.
From the Garden Party and the Photography Competition, to the Memory Wall and Biscuit Decorating Competition, the week has been filled with moments that reflect the warmth, inclusivity and spirit of our college.
Thank you to everyone who made a gift, attended an event, volunteered their time or followed along throughout the week. Together, we have raised over £65,000 for student support. These gifts will help students pursue opportunities, navigate financial pressures, participate fully in college life and thrive during their time at Oxford.

📸 Congratulations to Sophia Hall (MSc Medical Anthropology, 2025), winner of the Green Templeton College 2026 Photography Competition!
Sophia`s reflection on Vincent captured perfectly the sense of belonging that so many people find at Green Templeton.
A huge thank you to everyone who entered the competition and to everyone who voted. Your support also helped unlock £1,000 of funding as part of our Community & Giving Week challenge!
What a way to start Community & Giving Week 🤩
Saturday`s Garden Party brought together alumni, fellows, friends from across the UK and beyond to celebrate one another and support current and future students.
On the day, many shared their college memories on our `memory wall` - from today on display in the Stables Bar.
We are now asking our global community to share their memories of Green, Templeton and Green Templeton, and help us unlock an additional £1,000 for student support once we reach 50 memories.
You can email development@gtc.ox.ac.uk with a picture or share a video or audio via the link in the comments.
