Part 1 included a welcoming word, a round of introductions and a series of presentations with updates on TN recent and planned activities, including network project on strengthening circumpolar health networks, mentorship program, and reporting to UArctic.
Part 2 engaged members into small group work in five break-out rooms, discussing the questions on what are the significant health challenges in the region they work and live, and what are the activities the members would like to see in the TN and how would they like to engage in them.
The participants gave very positive feedback on this kind of meeting to become regular, at least two times a year. TN leads will examine the meeting discussion notes in planning the contents for future meetings and activities. Also a membership form will be made and soon circulated, which will aid the TN in its work and in more meaningful membership engagement.
