Achieving equitable wellbeing for all – introducing the NOURISH initiative

Watch now

Understanding how we achieve equitable wellbeing for all can be daunting in a world of rapidly shifting geopolitics, democratic systems failures, and gaping wealth inequalities. In this event we introduce the NOURISH initiative which takes a decolonising public health approach to change, focussing first and foremost on our interconnectedness and our relationship with ‘place’.

About NOURISH

NOURISH is a new way of working to achieve equitable wellbeing for all.

We are a collective of people who are practitioners, researchers and advocates for authentic health equity. NOURISH is an approach that takes a “whole person, whole systems” approach to change. We exist in response to the need for better decisions for the achievement of good for all at all levels of community, local, national and global.

We seek to build community power and systems change, grounded in a decolonial, Indigenous knowledge and values based framework

We offer support and actions that foster a return to a collective system of societal decision making through ideas that:

• Facilitate adaptive learning
• Foster open inquiry
• Develop transformational change strategies
• Empower collective action
• Are founded on empathy and compassion

Come join us to learn more about our initiative and get involved.

The NOURISH initiative is supported by the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation and Salzburg Global Seminar.
