What is Teach to Reach 8? 16,835 health professionals from the frontlines of immunization and primary health care (PHC) are using the power of peer learning to tackle their local challenges through the Teach to Reach global learning-to-action network. The live event was held on Friday 16 June 2023, focused on one-to-one networking between participants. Teach to Reach 8 was opened by the Women Who Deliver Vaccines collective, who shared their experience of HPV vaccine introduction to help prevent 340,000 deaths from cervical cancer. Listen to the voices of Women Who Deliver Vaccines explain why HPV vaccine matters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaGTCMTDJ8w The Teach to Reach 8 live event was powerful. However, this live learning moment was just one step of Teach to Reach. Ahead of the event, 1,175 participants had already shared experiences on range of community-selected questions. All Teach to Reach 8 participants receive the complete compendium of the experiences shared before the event. Participants are now using the next two weeks to share their learning and insights. These insights will also be given back to the community in the upcoming Teach to Reach 8 Listening and Learning insights report. At any time, participants can share further insights, ideas, and practices with each other, through The Double Loop, our Insights newsletter.

Teach to Reach is part of the Geneva Learning Foundation’s learning-to-action pathway in support of the Movement for Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030). Unlike expensive face-to-face conferences, Teach to Reach is open to all, and there is no upper limit to the number of participants. Read more about the superior value, efficacy, and impact of digital networks to drive change in global health
