Health Hive goes to Cape Town: Allyson Todd at the 18th World Congress on Public Health
PhD candidate and Youth Engagement Lead Allyson Todd has returned from a busy week at the World Federation of Public Health Associations (WFPHA) 18th World Congress on Public Health in Cape Town, South Africa.
Allyson presented her PhD research across several sessions:
Youth-led organisation showcase: Allyson co-hosted a booth with A/Prof Stephanie Partridge, promoting Health Hive's free online course for young people interested in public health research and advocacy.
Digital poster: in a 3-minute digital poster session, she presented how Health Hive was co-created with young people.
Young WFPHA panel: Allyson was invited to join a panel hosted by Young WFPHA on youth leadership and engagement in public health.
The congress was also a chance to meet new colleagues and reconnect in person with Mary-Anne Land and Terry Slevin, whom Allyson worked with virtually as an intern at the Public Health Association of Australia in 2022.
Allyson's travel was supported by a 2026 Charles Perkins Centre EMCR Travel Award. Congratulations, Allyson!
