Come for the flash mob, stay for the sex education.
That's how a few Global Health Corps fellows in Burundi are getting through to hard-to-reach communities. Fellows organized choreographed public flash mobs, and after the dancing drew attention from curious passersby, they hosted informal education sessions about sexual health.

Barbara Bush, founder and CEO of Global Health Corps, explained this unusual approach to sex education at Social Good Summit on Monday. She said the new tactics in global health come from harnessing the passion of a younger generation.
"There's more interest in global health than ever before," she said, noting that in the last five years, 80 universities have added programs dedicated to the field.
Established in 2008, Global Health Corps is a non-profit organization that pairs young professionals in the U.S. with fellows abroad. Together, teams work in global health organizations to tackle issues across the world.
The fellows don't all come from strictly medical backgrounds. Bush said global health initiatives need diversity. Fellows with training in business and technology are especially important. This year, 10 fellows are architects, she said.
Even traditional health organizations and companies are experimenting with new methods to bring healthcare to people, said Nina Nashif founder and CEO of Healthhox, who sat alongside Bush on the Social Good Summit panel.
"I'm most optimistic about the way established organizations are embracing change," she said.
For years and for good reason, certain health organizations had been careful and slow to adopt change, she explained. Now, many are willing to seek early solutions.
Bush emphasized that the best global health solutions come from teamwork and communication among the private sector, established organizations, new groups and healthcare individuals across the world.
"Partnership is critical," she said. "There's no reason to do this work alone"
