Becoming Better Ancestors: 9 Lessons to Change the World


Becoming Better Ancestors is a free virtual learning series produced by the Task Force for Global Health. It examines the successful effort to eradicate smallpox - the first time a human disease was wiped off the face of the earth. Nine lessons are drawn from that incredible achievement. The lessons can be applied to other diseases and, beyond, to the biggest problems facing humanity. 

The principles are proven, simple, and reliable. Each is explained in a 20-minute video featuring interviews with global health leaders. Case studies help to illustrate how the lessons can be applied in practice. By learning and embracing these methods, we can tackle our major challenges and promote positive change. Becoming Better Ancestors offers a hopeful, empowering message for problem-solving and collaboration.
