“One thing that kept us to come back with our local solutions, apart from the motivation and the commitment that we had, was an action plan development that each and every one of us had to submit.” #TropMed23 #EndNTDs #Ghana

“It has also increased our motivation level and we want to do more online courses.” #TropMed23 #EndNTDs #Ghana

“We were also able to disseminate information across a wider coverage than if we had an in-person training.” #TropMed23 #EndNTDs #Ghana

“We have now become dissemination ambassadors on #FGS and after every activity that we did, we had people coming to us for recordings on the sessions that we had.” #TropMed23 #EndNTDs #Ghana

“Finally 198 healthcare professionals were able to complete the workshop successfully.” #TropMed23 #EndNTDs #Ghana

“It was great when we saw a link shared by the Geneva Learning Foundation that showed over 1,500 healthcare professionals who were eager and interested in learning the course.” #TropMed23 #EndNTDs #Ghana

“The second phase of the project, which was called the Impact Accelerator, helped bring alive action plans with local solutions.” #TropMed23 #EndNTDs #Ghana

“Participants were trained on improving the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of #FGS.” #TropMed23 #EndNTDs #Ghana

“More than 300 healthcare professionals across all levels of health system in sub-Saharan Africa participated.” #TropMed23 #EndNTDs #Ghana

“Research is ongoing, but it's important for us to know that knowledge gap is across many African countries and it is time for us all to join to end this menace.” #TropMed23 #EndNTDs #Ghana

“All levels of health system need improved knowledge from specialists in obstetrics and gynaecology through to community health workers and laboratory workers.” #TropMed23 #EndNTDs #Ghana

“Having heard all the signs and symptoms that are shared, diagnosis is sometimes very difficult because the symptoms mimic other sexually transmitted infections.” #TropMed23 #EndNTDs #Ghana

“And when left untreated, the person is likely to come down with complications such as infertility and face stigma and discrimination in society.” #TropMed23 #EndNTDs #Ghana

“And later the person starts coming down with symptoms such as blood urination, pain in the genital area.” #TropMed23 #EndNTDs #Ghana

“And when an unhealthy individual steps into that water, the parasite penetrates through the skin and then travels into the internal organs of the woman or girl.” #TropMed23 #EndNTDs #Ghana

“If we do not get the knowledge and do not do something about it, we might end up having a lot of people ending up with complications.” #TropMed23 #EndNTDs #Ghana

“I'm sure some of us might be thinking it could be rape, it could be sexually transmitted disease, and that is why it's so important for us to talk about female genital schistosomiasis.” #TropMed23 #EndNTDs #Ghana

“This girl loves to swim. After swimming with her new friends, she came back home having symptoms of lower abdominal pain, discharge, and a little bit of blood from the genitals that lasted for several months.” #TropMed23 #EndNTDs #Ghana

What learning science underpins peer learning for Global Health?

Watch Reda Sadki’s presentation about peer learning for global health at the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) Symposium on 19 October 2023

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.

This is called peer learning or peer-to-peer learning.

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.
5. Emergent peer learning systems driven by local practitioner and community needs and priorities.

Join this #TropMed23 Peer Learning symposium on Day 2 of the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH).

Looking forward to #TropMed23 next week in Chicago! I'll be talking about #GWAS in #snails revealing clues to fight #schistosomiasis. If you're attending, find me and say hi! #ASTMH
