Global Humanitarian Summit

Global Humanitarian Summit

April 22, 2017

School of Medicine at Emory University

Organized and run by a consortium of Emory undergraduate and strengthened by involvement from community partners including CDC staff, Emory physicians, and members of various Atlanta communities the summit speaks to everyone. The need for this event stemmed initially from the simple realization that we, as humans, have a shared responsibility to protect and aid our world. Through a series of panels, speakers, movie screenings, and exhibitors, we are bringing together dedicated individuals of all careers and backgrounds to address humanity’s greatest issues and inspire creative problem solving.

Our speakers and their topics for the event are as follows:

Jeannie Alexander- Prison and Racial Justice
Caroline Olok- Education and Peace Building Initiatives
Doug Ellis- Angel Flights, Medical Services
Emile Badibanga- Education, Health, and Prison rights
Phil Talboy- Ebola, Global Health
Ken Clark- Clean Water, Sustainability
Megan Beall and Mary Lou Beall- Anti-Human Trafficking

Especially for youth ministers and leaders: The Regional Council of Churches is partnering with the Georgia Dept. of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities in SHARE HOPE. Suicide is a leading cause of death in young people. What is the role of the faith community in ministering to troubled young people? Share Hope is an interfaith social media contest to promote the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Because we know that just pausing before acting often stops a suicide attempt, 988 is one important tool in fostering a healthy community. Have a look www.988ga.org/faith. This activity could be a great way to start off the school year with your creative youth group. And, your group could win a $250 Pizza Party--there will be ten winners.
