AFHC Young Leaders’ Network

Facilitated the organisation of the Alliance for Healthy Cities Young Leaders’ Network with assistance from Dr. Jinhee Kim of the UNSW Cities Institute. I was involved in the coordination of the launch of the network at the 10th Global Conference of AFHC in Seoul Korea in September 2024. Currently coordinating the general body meetings and involved in creating a charter for the network.

The aim of the network is to share visions of healthy cities of the future and discuss proposals and expand networks to fulfil our visions. The network currently has over 30 student and young professional members from over 8 countries across the APAC region.
