This Signature, Non-Panel Session is designed to anchor GLOBEHEAL’s 10th anniversary within the core conference theme “innovation, workforce capacity, and community well‑being”, while centering the lived realities and leadership of the Global South. Rather than a traditional panel, the session blends decade reflection, expert debate, community‑rooted insights, and live co‑creation to shape a shared South‑South roadmap for Futureproof public health systems. The goal is to collectively imagine what innovation, workforce readiness, and community resilience must look like by 2037, especially in regions facing the highest climate, economic, and disease‑related pressures.

This workshop explores how theoretical frameworks in global public health can be effectively translated into real-world research and practice. Led by the Conference Chair, Dr. Vincent La Placa, the session will guide participants through key concepts, models, and approaches that bridge the gap between academic theory and practical implementation. Through interactive discussions and case-based examples, participants will gain insights into designing research that is both theoretically grounded and contextually relevant. The workshop aims to strengthen researchers’ ability to apply theory in addressing complex public health challenges and to enhance the impact and applicability of their work across diverse global settings.

This workshop, led by the Conference Co-Chair, Dr. Julia Morgan, examines the importance of decolonising global health research by challenging dominant knowledge systems and amplifying underrepresented voices. It introduces arts-based methods as innovative and inclusive approaches to knowledge production, enabling participants to engage with communities in more meaningful and culturally sensitive ways. Participants will gain practical insights into integrating these methods into their own work to promote more inclusive, ethical, and transformative global health research.
