Introduction Globalization and global movement of people represent complex processes tightly interconnected and exacerbated by the economic crisis that is currently affecting and deeply transforming Europe. Furthermore, the policies developed as a response to the crisis are weakening the welfare state, putting under threat the enforceability of the right to health (also) through a deterioration of other human rights and the increase in economic, social and health inequalities affecting in particular the most marginalized groups, including migrants. Starting from a shared perspective on the social responsibilities of universities, which includes knowledge production and action, the RHEACH interdisciplinary programme will provide students with theoretical content, analytical tools and practical experience for critically engaging with the on-going global processes and their impact on three main axis: 1) human rights, 2)
health and welfare policies and 3) the movement of people. The objective of the programme is to support and complement the education of students who will be future social and health professionals, and at the same time to promote an attitude of active citizenship committed to the promotion and the protection of human rights, including the right to health. The course methodology is conceived as an on-going mutual learning process for students and staff, aimed at the co construction of knowledge and based on two core principles that inform the vision of the course: the equal dignity of people independent of the institutional role and the relevance of prior knowledge and experience (including respect and mutual integration of disciplines), while recognizing the underlying power relations. Through a student-centred approach that builds on participation, interactivity, experiential learning, the two-week residen-

tial course will offer: interdisciplinary theoretical knowledge and analytical tools; reflective thinking on social responsibility; empirical experience within the community; continuous networking to support actions of advocacy and social transformation. Students are expected to develop the ability to critically engage with the current processes linking globalization, crisis and health through a human rights framework, adopting interdisciplinary analytical tools designed to disentangle complexity. Furthermore, building
on the empirical experience within the community offered by the course, students are expected to develop an active attitude of engagement with the surrounding social context. Finally, through the adopted glocal approach and the provided opportunity to discuss and compare experiences from different European countries, students are expected to increase their networking skills and the capacity to support actions of advocacy and social transformation. We really look forward to this year’s course: welcome to İzmir!

Students will then have the chance to introduce themselves, briefly describing their areas of interest and work, and share their expectations for the course.
an exercise that will involve active participation by students, and through inputs coming from the facilitators. The expected outcome of this session is to highlight how students coming from different backgrounds assign different meanings to each of the following items: health, human rights, globalisation, capitalism, crisis, vulnerability and possibly others that may appear relevant during the discussion.

Wednesday, July 9th From power to rights Epistemology, neutrality and power of science (lecture) Benno Herzog One of the most important demands we are used to hear social and political institutions as well as from the scientific community is that science should be objective and neutral. What is more, a great many of researchers would describe their work as fulfilling these claims. But: are we really neutral during the scientific research process? Which of the many decisions we take during the research do have normative implications? And, how can we cope with the influence of normative implication on the research process? In the first part of the lecture we will discuss difficulties to understand the social reality. We will ask questions Accountability and the social responsibilities of universities (Case study and discussion) Sonia Mckay
like: What is reality like? How do we create knowledge? Is there true knowledge? In the second part of the lecture we will discuss the possibility and desirability of neutral and objective knowledge in migration research. The main thesis I want to defend is that the myth of objectivity and neutrality of statistics is based on ignorance of both ends of social research: The production and selection of the data on the one side, and the interpretation and use of the data on the other. Nevertheless, production, selection, interpretation and use are part of the scientific enterprise and therefore should be part of critical reflections on our research methods. In the lecture, I will show how the embededness of scientific methods in the research process requires diverse decision making which is not free of normative implications.
Universities are centres of production, reproduction and of criticism of value systems. They are also users and abusers of them. These issues are not fixed in
12 the responsibility of personnel' departments in large firms and public organisations from being that of 'supporting' personnel to being 'managers' of increasingly commodified 'human resources' has tended to erode the significance of ethical considerations and social responsibilities within work environments - unless they can be presented as part of a 'business case'. While one meaning of 'accountability' asks to whom should the university be answerable, another stresses the need to make university income and university teacher salaries dependent on theprogress of their students. In one British university its latest performance review form asks academic staff to list the 'accountabilities' by which their performance can be measured. In that same university a conflict occurred in 2013 between many university staff and university senior management over the ethics involved in recruiting a Palestinian who had served 13 years' imprisonment for a crime he always denied having committed. The case study issues to be explored concern different definitions of 'social responsibility' taken up by different
actors, and different understandings of 'accountability'. How should 'risk' be assessed, and by whom? After exploring the concept of human rights and its evolution within an historical and political context, the participants will familiarize with the international system of human rights starting from the analysis of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. With a special attention to the right to health, the human rights-based approach will then be discussed as a critical tool to address growing health inequalities. Ways in which health promotion practices may benefit from this approach will be highlighted, particularly in situations of dual loyalties where individuals' and communities' human rights are threatened.

Thursday, July 10th Human rights approach Politicisation of human rights: how to enforce them (Lecture) Sonia Mckay This lecture will set out key human rights legislation at EU and international level, particularly in relation to the enforcement of rights at work. It will explore historically how workplace rights came to be seen as human rights that are fundamental and distinguish between those that are collectively Sexual and reproductive rights of women as a sociological research topic to the service of activism Carles Xavier Simo Noguera Activism has a fundamental role both in the social recognition of sexual and reproductive rights of women and the fight against violations thereof in the context of human rights. The activism in Academic research on sexual and reproductive rights of women does not necessarily fulfill the needs of activism, as the scientific production of universities follows its own agenda and interests.
and individually enforced. From there the lecture will move on to generally explore some human rights issues beyond the workplace. Students will then be given the opportunity for some course work which will investigate the question of human rights and restrictions on movement from the perspective of the individual affected, those who work in such environments and the wider policy framework. This course work will be in preparation for the afternoon visit on 12 July. Within the aim of raising awareness, sociological research may contribute to the production of data and the recognition of a map of needs, the identification of social agents, the target populations and the methods applied in order to achieve social transformation. Moreover, sociology can strengthen activism by producing statistical data about the respect / violation of sexual and reproductive rights of women in different countries, institutions, social groups, etc. In addition, sociological research must exercise an active role in the
15 analysis of production / reproduction of explicit discourses (and unexpressed attitudes) denying these rights, and bringing resistances against the acceptance thereof. It is therefore important to establish a starting point in which sociological research suits the specific needs of the activism and the researcher adopts a role of social actor in an
equal and horizontal position with activists. Using the results of research on sexual and reproductive rights of immigrant women in Region of Valencia (Spain) this interactive session aims to identify some of the changes that social research should address this adaptation to the interests of activism.

be members of future’s low paid workforce, and keept them as the main provider of house and care work: public service cuts in reproductive health care, attempts to ban abortion, the abolition of the employer's obligation to open nursery, promotions to increase homecare of old and sick people by women etc. The control of women’s fertility was at the heart of government’s neoliberal policies. All these changes exacerbated with increased conservative pressure against the “others”: unmarried couples, single mothers, feminists, lesbians, trans women, immigrants etc. But these “others” unified and lots of organisations and solidarity networks evolved against this oppression. In this session participants will have chance to discuss about sexual and reproductive health rights with the activists from different organisations from Izmir.

Flexible and insecure employment forms for women were introduced in labour market in order to fullfill the government’s promises to increase the employment rate of women to international agencies. Contrary to this, a set of profound changes were introduced in health and social care policies which encouraged women to have more children who would

Friday, July 11th Globalisation, neoliberalism and crisis Globalisation, economic policies and crisis in Europe (Lecture and debate) Feride Aksu TanÄąk
This lecture will give a general framework of globalization and the historical background of austerity policies. Social state has been transformed to a neoliberal market state. Capitalism organized itself through international actors such as Capitalism and the impact on welfare Elias Kondilis This lecture will bring together under a common framework the current economic recession or contraction (which is usually and quite superficially defined as a period of at least two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth, or to be more precise as a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting for more than few months and visible not just in real GDP, and in real income, but also in employment, industrial activity and wholesale-retail sales)
the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank (WB) and the World Trade Organization (WTO). Their partner in health is the World Health Organization (WHO). These actors used several mechanisms and tools in order to commercialize and marketise the public sector. These mechanisms include the 'Structural Adjustment Plans' (SAPs), 'Poverty Reduction Strategies', 'GATS' and 'TRIPS' agreements, and the 'health reform'. As a whole, these are defined as neoliberal policies. and austerity policies (which are named so because they typically involve budget cuts, cutbacks in public expenditure, but they also commonly include policies that increase taxes on corporations, individual or household income, value-added or sales taxes and other forms of taxation) trying to investigate if and how these two factors may affect populations’ health and health care reform. This empirical framework will then be tested in the case of Europe asserting that the factor that determines the net result of a crisis on a population’s health is not the crisis itself but the policy responses to the crisis.
17 Health and crisis in Europe (Lecture: Case study and discussion) Alexis Benos
The participants will identify the ongoing debate on whether and how economic crisis and economic
recession affect the populations’ health. Participants will then focus on relative historical evidence coming from past economic crises (eg. the East Asian economic crisis in 1997-8 and the Ex-Soviet countries economic crisis during the ‘90s).
Saturday, July 12th Globalisation, neoliberalism and crisis The global work market (lecture and group work) Sonia Mckay This session will explore the global work market as it developed in the period after the end of the Second World War to the economic crisis of the early 1970s. The aim will be to set out the developments in European working conditions that were part of a post-war consensus whose aim was to re-shape labour relations, particularly (although not exclusively) in those countries that had experienced fascism in the prewar period. The session will then go on to look at the labour market in Europe from the 1980s onwards,
focusing on privatisation, on the retreat of collective organisation, and on a new consensus no longer based on collaborative industrial relations and social partnership. In this new context the challenges of racism and xenophobia will be explored. The lecture will reference the work of Wilkinson and Pickett and Piketty. In the group work that follows students will be asked to consider the contexts in which racism and xenophobia flourish and to discuss alternative discourses that are based on concepts of equality and dignity. Students will be provided with some key data and based on it will offer short presentations on equality and non-discrimination in the work market context.
18 Undocumented migration: working, health and conditions in the restaurant sector (Case study and discussion) Sonia Mckay This case study will be based on recent research conducted in the UK which explored the working lives of undocumented migrants in London.

The island is one of the three registered Quarantine Island in the World. Urla is also an important point for the transit migrants and illegal migrants in global migration. The students will visit the island and Tahaffuzhane building which preserves its original architecture and also get a chance to discuss the quarantine in the context of global migration.

Monday, July 14th Who has/What is the right to health? Inequalities in health (Lecture) Peter Tinnemann In this session we will look at different concept of analysing and presenting inequalities and health inequalities. We will look at health inequality from a global and local perspective. The question why should reduce inequality will be discussed in relation to the concept of public and the commons, to social and charity and to equality and equity. The historical developments in medicine and health concepts from The Social determination of health (lecture, discussion and interactive session) CSI Building on themes and challenges emerged during the previous week of activities and linking to the subject of health inequalities discussed in the preceding lecture, this session will address the need to frame health as a social phenomenon and as a topic of social justice more broadly. As stated by
the enlightenment period through industrialisation, via the first social movements will be presented and put modern public health – in particular in light to the current predominant economic systems – in context. Exemplary on the growth of social hygiene in the German, an in relation to its relevance within the third reich, the session will put forward and look at thoughts of in the individual and collective actions, in particular in light of the recent growth of civil society movements and the new global involvement of transnational corporations. the Report of the WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health, “Closing the gap in a generation” (2008), “Together, the structural determinants and conditions of daily life constitute the social determinants of health and are responsible for a major part of health inequities between and within countries.” These social determinants are “…power, income, goods, and services, globally and nationally, [people’s] access to health care, schools, and education, their conditions of work and leisure,
20 becomes a guiding principle pointing towards the adoption of a human rights framework as vehicle for enabling the realization of the right to health (the cross-cutting theme of the whole course). Based on this general framing, a conceptual framework on social determinants of health will be developed taking note of the specific
theories of the social production of health. Three main theoretical nonmutually exclusive explanations will be discussed: (1) psychosocial approaches; (2) social production of disease/political economy of health; and (3) eco-social theory of disease distribution. Wide interaction with participants will be sought.

willing to take the risks as they are faced with security problems or they are unable to survive at their countries of origin. This field trip is organised together with the Municipality, as they are supporting this community with food, shelter, security or health. The visit will start with a discussion with some migrant families who will join us at the Community Center of the Konak Municipality. Then in groups ,a hotel they accomodate and the mosque which gives them free food will be visited. The group will then meet at a coffee house in the region where they will discuss with a hotel owner who has been a migrant himself in the past. The visit will end at the Community Center of the Konak Municipality, where they will discuss with the Municipality Social worker about his position and efforts at the region.

Tuesday, July 15th The right to health care? Privatization of healthcare in Europe (Lecture) Elias Kondilis Privatization is one of the most debatable, and value leaden terms in health care reform lexicography. This lecture will introduce the rationale and theories behind privatization focusing mainly on Property Rights Theory and New Public Management. The various and conflicting definitions of health care privatization will be presented
Access to medicines (interactive lecture & case studies) Peter Tinnemann
Starting from the world Health Organisation framework for access to essential medicines we will explore in particular the questions of rational drug selection and affordable prices. Both framework parts will be related to the global health concept. In particular intellecutal property rights
and the seven main types of privatization policies used in healthcare systems in Europe (liquidation of public facilities, contracting out, decentralization, autonomization, regulated / managed competition, publicprivate partnerships and privatization of healthcare financing) will be briefly discussed. Examples of each type of these market-oriented reforms and their impact on efficiency will be critically examined.
regulations and their effects on access two medicines will be presented in detail. Potential alternative concepts to the intellectual property rights concept will be introduced. Effects of the world health organisation access to medicine framework resulting policies on EU countries mostly affected by the current ongoing financial economic crisis will be introduced and opened for discussion and debate with the participants.

Wednesday, July 16th Promoting health. Strategies/practices for social change What does it mean to promote health? Active citizenship for social change (Interactive focus session) CSI Since many years, the debates on health policies acknowledge the inclusion of the community at-large as a fundamental issue for the promotion of health. This acknowledgement is often only rhetorical, and strategically makes use of “in-fashion” and “fundsattractive” expressions, such as “participation”, “community-based”, “empowerment”, which rarely found a practical and applicative form on the ground. This interactive session would like to open a debate for critically reflecting on which collective practices can contribute to the promotion of health, overcoming the boundaries of a rigid division of roles between
health personnel, non-health professionals and other social actors active in the community (associations, cooperatives, informal groups, social spaces, single citizens, …). Taking into consideration and recalling what we will have experienced, discussed and analyzed until this point of the course programme, this session is thus meant to build a step forward in a shared reflection on how we (as students, professors, workers, citizens, and as part of the community at-large) can promote a social change toward a more equal society. Through interactive and creative pedagogical tools and the help of the facilitators, students and professors will have the chance to share, express and build their own ideas and experiences.
23 Theoretical framework for social struggles (Lecture) Serdar Tekin This lecture has a twofold agenda. First, it invites the participants to step back for a moment and to reflect on some basic concepts such as justice and injustice, equality and inequality. While we draw on these concepts in so many ways as we talk about and/or engage in social struggles, their meaning is often controversial and far from clear. Although Environmental struggles and the right to health (Case study) Alexis Benos Natural and social environment threatened by capitalism The case of the gold extraction industry in Halkidiki.

we cannot―and perhaps we should not―hope to achieve uncontroversial definitions, there is merit to sorting out some of the philosophical issues at stake. (Take for instance the following question: what is actually wrong with inequality?) Secondly, we turn to contemporary debates about how to theorize social struggles. In this part of the lecture, more specifically, we will try to get an overview of three perspectives structured around the key notions of “rights”, “redistribution”, and “recognition”, respectively. case where the profit making eager is literally destroying both nature and human society. Linking with the international socio economic environment an insight will be given on the strong movement that is mobilised against this barbarism and the dynamics of the solidarity movemtn will be discussed. Bergama-Ovacık gold mine’s licence and obtaining gold exploration license in 1989. In 1989, we learned about the health and environmental hazards of gold mining and we shared this knowledge with Bergama villagers. Gold mining and mining activities include several processes starting with the drilling
24 and determination of an economically significant ore, followed by abrasion which uncovers the land by removing all forms of habitat, removal and displacement of the upper soil layers in order to reach the layers containing the ore, exposing the rocks containing the ore through a series of dynamite explosions, grinding the orecontaining rocks to obtain fine particles, treating the fine-particle ores with sodium cyanide (in either closed tanks or heap-leaching) to obtain the gold inside and storing the gold-free, cyanide treated toxic waste in a dam. Cyanide releases metallic elements like arsenic, mercury, lead, antimony, cadmium, zinc etc. to their harmful elemental forms from their harmless compound forms found in nature. Acid mine drainage causes further decomposition and release of these metals. These harmful elements and cyanide compounds have been shown to leak from the waste dams, disperse in nature and cause soil, water and food pollution. As such, mining activities have negative impacts like displacement of the people, loss of livelihood, changes in population dynamics, water scarcity, changes in topography, environmental pollution (water, soil, air, food, noise), acid rain, health impacts (goitre, anemia, diabetes mellitus, hyperpigmentation, hyperkeratosis, blackfoot disease, abortion, still birth, liver and renal
function disorders, cancer in different organs and tissues) and mining accidents (environmental pollution due to tailing dam failure, floods, drought, landslide). Bergama Villagers’ Movement and NGOs’ struggle against Ovacık mine started in 1990. After Ovacık, new gold mines in Kışladağ, İliç and Efemçukuru have started operating. The Bergama Villagers’ Movement is a cornerstone in the struggle against pollution to protect life. In order to make this struggle more organized, firstly the Elele (Hand-in-Hand) Movement was founded and later on the Aegean Environmental and Cultural Platform was established, combining all NGOs struggling for different environmental issues in the region. During this struggle, more than 80 lawsuits were opened against only the Ovacık Mine, almost all being won (two of them in European Court of Human Rights). However the mine continues to operate through governmental support. Despite struggles against gold mining and the local public’s opposition, the European Commission’s appraisal in the Progress Report on Turkey stating that “the government has removed obstacles against mining” is an interesting hypocritical attitude. The struggle goes on. The final sentence is not yet pronounced.

Thursday, July 17th A glocal approach The People’s Health Movement: a global network for the promotion of the right to health (Case study and discussion) Interactive focus session: “Global network, local actions� (personal experiences from all students) CSI Through a multi-voice narration, the morning session presents the struggles for health in different places of Europe and internationally, as interrelated to the bigger struggle for democracy, selfdetermination, social justice, solidarity, rights and desires. Internationally, grassroots people's movements, health networks, health activists and academics of around 70 countries joined together in 2000 to form the People's Health Movement (PHM). PHM today is a global network who struggles for 'health for all', for the revitalisation of primary health care and to address the social determinants of health and the inequity mostly due to unfair
economic structures. In Europe, PHM is currently engaged in strengthening the resistance against the impact of the crisis on health and (public) healthcare, worsened by the imposed austerity measures. In particular, PHM provides the platform where different constituencies currently engaged in resistance/ production of alternatives (including social movements, NGOs, trade unions, universities, etc.) may find strategic synergies and increased transformative impact. In the afternoon, we will ask the participants to share their own experiences in social movements and the struggles they are engaged in at local level, with the purpose of making new connections and linking resistances beyond borders and strengthen the interrelation between local processes and the global context.

Friday, July 18th Towards a right to health without borders Interactive focus session: “Participatory evaluation and suggestions for next edition” (all participants) Final interactive session: imagining the course follow up (all participants) Students' evaluation, networking, closing and farewell (interactive sessions) CSI, Ege University The closing day is entirely participatory and includes students' evaluation, sharing and discussion on future networking and actions. The aim of the day is to provide an open space for jointly 'digesting'
what we learned during the two weeks, and potentially sharing ideas on how to bring it on, individually, in groups and/or collectively. The structure of the day will be decided in an open plenary. However, suggestions from the previous years indicate that a 'students-only' space is useful for allowing free expression and evaluation of all the course aspects. Comments and suggestions can then be shared – including in creative forms – in plenary. Space will also be allocated for filling the course quantitative evaluation required by the Erasmus programme, before the closing ceremony including awarding of certificates. And, of course, farewells.

The poem that was written about the Palestinian people having been imprisoned in their homeland and fleeing away, with the metaphor of a word meaning bird in Arabic. This poem has become a melody that expresses the fate of all Middle East as a song. The documentary brings to attention the problems that Arabs, Kurds,
Yezidis, Alevis, Armenians and other people face from the moment they tried to cross the border. Tuesday, July 17 Event: Concert, Group Tual Place: Historical Town Gas Factory Time: 21:00 “Tual” concert will be held as a part of Izmir Metropolitan Municipality “Lawn Concerts” (Çim Konserleri).

I have been teaching at London Metropolitan University for the past 3 years and also work The expert at anything on a freelance basis for a number of volunwas once a beginner tary sector organisations and health authorities. Through my involvement in the voluntary sector over the past 5 years, I have developed a keen interest in the impact of state funding on health related voluntary sector organisations. I am particularly interested in the management of front-line employees, against the backdrop of an increasingly target -driven sector. I am in my first year of my Professional Doctorate at the Working Lives Research Institute.
Still confused but on a higher level Officially I’m a medical student in the 6th year. But most of my time I spent working in a Roma and Non Roma youth association supporting homeless Romanian families in Berlin. Additionally I work voluntarily in an association for medical aid for illegalized refugees and migrants without health insurance. We pursue, as an anti-racist initiative, to improve the health care provision for undocumented immigrants by political and pragmatic means.

How can I face your tormentors without hate, how they could face e,ridicul humiliation trying, your sadistic fury and arrogance of power, without trauma, they say, how to struggle for years, if not for all your life, the deliberate violence to your body and your mind. I guess that only a deep and great love for life can save your human essence, because as the revolution is not a political act but a profound social education, a colorful love communicating with people, nature and things, so the Rebel can not be a political man, but a man in love
My name is Panagiota Kleidona and I'm studying economics in Thessaloniki. I participate in various groups related to health and migration, such as the Red Cross and the social center-immigrant's place.In the social center-immigrant's place we are fighting for the rights of migrants and locals, such as the right to health.I'm interesting in these topics and for this reason I applied to the summer school.
Truth is on the side of the oppressed My name is Panos and I live in Thessaloniki. I study Agricultural Sciences in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. I participate and support movements such as against the privatization of the water of Thessaloniki and against the gold mining in Skouries. I like getting to know new people and discover new things about life.

My name is Migena Selcetaj and I am from Albania. Actually, I am doing a Master Degree for "School and Community Psychology" at the University of Bologna. My interest has always been in the promotion and the development of the wellbeing of individuals and societies. I aim to work hard for the empowerment of the people through their human rights in order to have a better and an inclusive society . Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul. I'm from Bulgaria and I;m a second year student at Profram of Political Science in New Bulgarian University.I'm 22 years old and I graduated in a french hight school. I am very exited and enthusiastic about the summer school,because I find this topic really atractive and I belive that I will be able to develop my further educatiom in the social field.I know for certain ,that I want to make a difference in everything I do-I wantto be able to create better opportunities for people who need them,in every aspect of their lives.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory, which states that this has already happened. I'm Giovanni Visentin, attending the 2nd year of Medicine university of Bologna. In these 2 years I have been involved in many groups and student assosiations concerning global health and medical education. For me the word "global" means open minded vision of health and world. When I don't discuss about health and study for university exams (damned physiology), I like to practice aikido (japanise martial art).
I decided to be happy because it's good for my health
Studying in the last year at the medical school, I orient myself not only towards pediatrics but also towards public health issues with full enthusiasm. In private life I enjoy the wide cultural spectrum of Berlin City with my friends, dancing Tango, visiting concerts, going to the cinema. In order to relax I prefer to go to the countryside, to swim and to canoe in remote lakes - and not to forget: to discover new places inside and outside Europe.

History is at once freedom and necessity I am Roberto, a student of Medicine in Bologna, but i am originally from Reggio Calabria. I am particularly interested in understanding how is health conceived, provided and denied in the detention structures. The reason why I think health conditions in prison are crucial is that they sum up in an essential way the conflicts and paradoxes that affect Health system in general: more specifically, they all stem from Marginality. By striving to do the impossible, man has always achieved what is possible. Those who have cautiously done no more than they believed possible have never taken a single step forward. Hi I’m Hannah and I’m from Brighton, on the South Coast of England. I study Health Systems and Global Policy at Queen Mary University in London, commuting from Brighton where I work as a bartender. I recently graduated from The University of Cambridge where I became interested in public health through studying the sociology of health and medicine as part of my degree in Politics, Psychology, and Sociology. I have enjoyed conducting research into how market incentives shape the way in which healthcare is delivered and hope to carry this work on into a PhD when I finish my Msc. I am also interested in mental health and am a voluntary national executive member of Student Minds, which aims to improve understanding of mental health issues for university students in the UK.

At the end of the day, we are what we do to change what we are.
I'm Jose Miguel, I'm spanish and I live in a small village near Valence. I work as a Nutritionist in a Hospital and I'm studying a Master of International Cooperation about health at the University of Valence. I would like to spend my time against social inequality and to implement the right to health. I think that this summer course could be very intesting and I'm sure that I will meet many people.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn´t do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover.
My Name ist Judith, I am 25 years old and I study Medicine in Berlin at CharitĂŠ University since April 2014. Before, I finished my studies of German and International Law in Berlin and Geneva, but Medicine is the subject that attracted me all the time and that I want to work with. I love Sports and Nature a lot, traveling and exploring different cultures and countries and I am really looking forward to meet all the peolpe and discuss interesting topics during the Summer School in Izmir.

Supported by the wisdom of our elders, inspired by indigenous peoples, eanergized by youth, and sustained by our sisterhood, we call for an end to these conditions [of economic inequality] and refuse to accept them as inevitable for the future of humanity Lydia Gonzålez Orta has a Degree in Political Science and Public Administration from the University of Granada and an Erasmus Mundus Master in Women’s and Gender Studies from the University of Oviedo and the Central European University of Budapest. Now she is a PhD student in Social Sciences at the University of Valencia. Her research interests focus on transnational women’s movements, postcolonial feminisms, international organizations, cyberpolitics and gender.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step I am currently a Masters student at Queen Mary University studying Global Public Health and Policy, my undergraduate degree was Biomedical Science at Newcastle University and in September I am starting postgraduate medicine at Barts. I love travelling and exploring different countries, from living in Guyana for a year to volunteering in Zimbabwe for a few months. I am fascinated in global health, with particular interest in human rights and inequality issues, and hope to have a future career in this field.
43
Don´t let your fears stand in the way of your dreams I’m an assistant doctor in Department of Public Health, Ege University Medical School and also a student in Department of Sociology, Anadolu University. I have some experiences in the field of migration. I attended the oral polio immunization campaign of Syrian immigrant children and I carried on a study as regards oral health problems of a cluster of pregnants immigrating from the east of Turkey and Syria.
Que l'importance soit dans ton regard, non dans la chose regardĂŠe I am Emma, I'm coming from Verona a nice city in the north-east of Italy. I study Anthropology, religion and oriental culture at University of Bologna. I like stay with pepole and see different point and differnt view even if I care that is more usefull do practical activities with others to really understand their moods, so I enjoy pragmatic tasks more than speeches. So I'm courious to meet pepole coming from different part of Europe and star co-producing matters about health. I consider myself an open-minded person but I think it's not my task to say that (others opinion could be more authentic than mine).

Privatize everything, privatize the sun and the sky, privatize the water and the air, privatize the justice and law, privatize the cloud that passes by, privatize the dream, privatize if it is a daydream with your eyes open. And, finally, for the crocket and punch line of so much privatizing, privatize the States, give them away for the exploration of private enterprises, by international concurrence. Only then we’ll find the salvation of the world‌ and, right now, privatize too the bitch that they all are sons of. Merhaba! My name is Zaharoula Veziri and I am studying Political Sciences in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. I am in the 4rd year. I participate in politics and I am fighting for the rights of native and immigrants in Greece and in the whole world! This summer I will take part in this school because I think that the right of health should belong to everyone.
Be yourself; everyone else is already I have been research assistant in Ege University Medicine School, Department of Public Health since January 2013. I graduated from Ege University Medicine School in 2012. I worked as a general practitioner in Sanliurfa Suruc Public Hospital in emergency service in November 2012 – January 2013. I am interested in movies and TV series. I like practicing in statistical analysis of researches.

My name is Marina Anastasio and I am the girl on your right in this picture. I chose this picture because I think it might be representative: I believe in the importance of multiculturalism, which could allow for a more open – minded society, and cooperation between cultures. I am 27 and I come from Italy, but I live in London for academic reasons. I am a Professional Doctorate student and my main research interests are: the notions of labour and capital, precariousness, especially in the European Union and health consequences on workers, especially the most vulnerable ones.
Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success. I am Rafa, I live in Valencia, I'm an engineer and secondary school teacher. Due to my vocation for teaching and learning with students I decided to extend my studies to improve my education background, and for this reason currently I’m studying a master’s degree. I like to travel and visit new places and meet people of other cultures. I have travelled abroad several times and it is helping me to have a more global view of the world

So I can't show you how, exactly, health care is a basic human right. But what I can argue is that no one should have to die of a disease that is treatable. My Dang is a now first-year medical student at the Charité Berlin, after graduating from Brown University with a B.Sc. in “Human Biology – International Health” in May 2013. Her interests include maternal health and the burden of noncommunicable diseases in the Global South.

My background is full of arts and literature. At the age of 9 I started to play clarinet and I got a master of arts in the State Academy of Music, meanwhile I went around my country playing in some excellent orchestras. Even if my high school was focused on humanities, ancient greek and latin, I fell in love with science and in particular with chemical engineering, the major of my bachelor, maybe because playing music truly is creating a world with thoughts and the same holds for engineering. I'm now getting aware of the real risks of my future job by studying risk assessment and industrial safety measures. As for my mind, I like Nature and ancient monuments and I dream of a clean world full of sustainable technologies.

As a doctor working on public health I think that violation of human rights, ecological destructions, war and forced migration, discrimination against women and LGBT individuals and neo-liberal capitalist world economic system as a whole dramatically effect human health.

I try to travel and learn wherever I go. I like climbing, playing music, chess and reading. I have been studying medicine for four years and Global and Public health for one year. I am very concerned about the privatisation of health systems around the world and the growing power of enormous corporations. The questions of health, the environment, food, and our liberty are all the same to me, a question of learning to live together.
