Peer Learning & Leading

GlobeMed student leaders are trained to foster transformative learning experiences on campus. During weekly meetings and self-organized campus events, GlobeMed students facilitate interdisciplinary global health discussions that uplift the diverse skills, perspectives, and lived experiences of the participants. Because we are able to reach the best solutions when we find common ground with others, GlobeMed chapters create room to dig deep and challenge perspectives, but also serve as spaces of belonging and inclusion on campus.

What does Peer Learning & Leading look like in GlobeMed?

• Regularly hosting brave spaces that promote learning & growth

• Reflecting often & intentionally

• Examining our own privilege, power & oppression and how to leverage it

• Humble learners; recognize and value many forms of knowledge & intentionally seek it

• Use our different roles, social positionality & lived experience to uplift each other, our ideas, and collective actions

• Culture of sharing what we learn & breakdown silos in thinking (e.g. writing or presenting on topics we are passionate about, sharing back key learnings & best practices)

• Learning alongside other values-aligned individuals and organizations (think about opportunities. for collaboration on campus & in your community!)

Reflect on the questions below before moving forward.

1. What titles or roles do you carry? How do you think this informs your outlook on life?

2. Do you feel more powerful when able to lead individually, or with a team next to you?

3. How would you describe how the words "powerful" or "leadership" feel?
