💡 One main source of research for my presentation will be my experiences as a participant, speaker & workshop leader at the International Urban Health Summit earlier this year (April 2025) #iuhs2025 at the Herrenhausen Palace (Hanover/Germany), organized by the VolkswagenStiftung – in partnership with The InterAcademy Partnership (IAP), the International Society for Urban Health (ISUH), and the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften (BBAW).

❤️ I am profoundly enthusiastic to continue my artistic journey together with all the inspiring new people which I have met this year devoted to the topic of #UrbanHealth.
