Ode to Healthy Futures: Share Your Voice
Posted by Pulitzer Center on November 5, 2024
Picture a healthy future for yourself, your students, and your community. What do you see, hear, and feel? What issues or obstacles stand in the way, and how can we collaborate to make this vision a reality?
We’re excited to share the launch of Ode to Healthy Futures, a collaborative platform where you can use poetry, science, and journalism to find solutions for global health issues. Created in partnership with the Wick Poetry Center’s Poets for Science project, Ode to Healthy Futures aims to make health science stories accessible and inspire participants to make personal connections to the science that shapes our lives.
Though the Ode to Healthy Futures platform can be navigated by students, educators, and community members without introduction, we have also created a workshop guide to deepen participants’ experience. Get started with the workshop guide, or head straight to the Ode for Healthy Futures poem-writing tool to choose a topic in health science, explore a news story, and write a poem in response. Submissions will be viewable in the site’s public gallery.
We look forward to receiving your visions for a healthy future! Make sure to keep checking the site to read poems and reflections from around the world. Plus, keep an eye on your inbox for a special email series that dives even deeper into the topic of global health. You’ll receive resources that can be implemented in your curriculum to expand your students’ understanding of health issues around the world and spark more compelling conversations about our collective futures.
