The EthicsLab will be hosting delegates of the Global Health Solidarity Project for a two-day Convivial Solidarity Workshop bringing together researchers, practitioners and global health stakeholders to advance the development of a solidarity index for global health funders.

Drawing on extensive research, this workshop will explore the core principles and characteristics of solidarity in global health. Participants will engage with these findings through the synodal method, working collaboratively to refine and agree upon a set of solidarity goals that will guide the development of the index.

The workshop will:

  • Share research findings on key solidarity principles emerging from the project
  • Facilitate structured breakout group discussions on proposed solidarity propositions
  • Engage participants in critical reflection on what solidarity means for the global health funding ecosystem
  • Work towards consensus on a final solidarity framework

Date: 17–18 February 2026 

Venue: WITS Club House, Olives and Plates Conference Centre, Johannesburg
