Region 1 Unconference

The NNLM Region 1 invites you to attend its first unconference! An unconference is a participant-oriented event where attendees structure the interactions, emphasizing conversations over formal presentations. The emphasis is on interaction between attendees and the discussions which emerge when participants are given an opportunity to engage with each other on topics of interest

Objectives

The goals of the symposium are to: 

  • Deepen our understanding of what our members are doing related to NNLM initiatives.
  • Speak with others interested in these themes and share local best practices and solutions. 
  • Make meaningful connections with others passionate about the topics.
  • View the NNLM as a space vested in addressing health misinformation, bridging the digital divide, environmental determinants of health, and research data management.

Each day will focus on one NNLM National Initiative, Environmental Determinants of Health, Bridging the Digital Divide, and Engaging Communities with Health Information

Collectively, these are referred to as environmental determinants of health (EDHs). Threats to any one of the EDHs can have an adverse impact on the health and well-being of the population.

Region 1 Unconference: Bridging the Digital Divide (Day 2) ​​​​​​​Issues such as decreased internet connectivity, lack of Wi-Fi, and video chat or webcam technology in both urban and rural areas can hinder access to online health and medical information, and telehealth to its fullest capacity, especially to communities of color, the poor, and medically underserved.
