In Taiwan the government went from 9% approval rating to a peak of over 70%.
There are lessons we can learn and it starts by politicians trusting the people

What a privilege to join this event today and to be imagining the future with a permanent global citizens assembly. An amazing range of experience and influence contributing to making this happen!
Today Iswe Foundation and @Politics_Oxford are hosting a conference to explore what a permanent Global Citizens’ Assembly could look like. We look forward to sharing the recordings and other resources, and inviting opportunities to contribute to this work.
"Mattering" is the belief that we’re significant to the world around us. When people feel they matter, they feel seen, important & needed through how others treat them. Scholars have deemed mattering to be a core instinct that drives all human behaviour. That’s why, when someone doesn’t believe they matter at work they:
- won’t share their voice if they don’t believe their voice is significant
- won’t use their strengths if they don’t believe they have strengths
- won’t contribute if they don’t believe they have something to contribute
- won’t care as much as if they feel cared for
Actions that leaders/ teams can take: see some excellent articles by @ZachMercurio - "How to Create Mattering at Work": https://t.co/vlxLnrqGWF and "The Cost of Not Mattering at Work": https://t.co/AocAKNMhxm.

What a start to our first day on this brilliant and vital program. Thank you for bringing together such important voices in rethinking global health, a privilege to take part
Grateful to @McGill_SPGH/@mcgillu for the scholarship for the course "Reimagining Global Health".
@paimadhu has started us off with profound statements.
"I don't use "climate change" any more because it's neutral; it doesn't show who will be affected the most."
We need to double down on international collaboration for solving global health challenges. Even more so when political tensions weaken battle against the biggest diseases. @wellcometrust is committed to doing our part. https://t.co/FeobUUAUQz via @ft

@BritSciAssoc 's @TheIdeasFund infrastructure grantees as they explore how to nurture a more equitable & healthy system for public engagement in research.

'We need brand new voices at the table if we are going to solve these problems' - how the work at @AHRI_News is involving communities in flipping traditional power structures and making changes to the scientific ecosystem
In the fight against infectious diseases, the voices of those most affected are a powerful tool.
The Africa Health Research Institute (@AHRI_News) aims to combat diseases like TB by working with local communities.
Experts at AHRI explain why this context is key for research ⤵️
