Overview

The Global Learning Partnership (GLP) is a unique global programme that aims to bring together staff and students from various academic institutions across the globe to learn about and contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The GLP runs in partnership with Kathmandu University School of Medical Science (KUSMS).

Students who participate in a GLP program will learn about UN SDG’s, health promotion practices, leadership, building community capacity and advocacy. The program will be delivered online and include a mix of face-to-face (via zoom) teaching, individual online learning modules, group work and mentoring from experts across the globe!
