Building Public Health Narratives through the music of Les Amazones d’Afrique
On 7th December, NYU's College of Global Public Health will convene the workshop 'Building Public Health Narratives through the Music of Les Amazones d'Afrique.' The event will be hosted by Professor Carlos Chirinos of the Music and Social Change Lab, and will encourage participants to contribute to develop one of the songs on the band's second album.
Please join NYU GPH’s Applied Global Public Health Initiative, Comms Academy and Steinhardt’s Music and Social Change Lab for this exciting workshop featuring music group Les Amazones d’Afrique.
This workshop will engage students in developing skills in public health storytelling to encourage behavior change and spread information about access to health services and education. Through the music of Les Amazones d’Afrique, the West African musical collective, students will work to develop narratives for one of their songs as they work on their second album.
