SSPH+ events
SSPH+ events
All SSPH+ events are based on the efforts of students of partner institutions and universities of SSPH+.
To ensure that 'SSPH+ for sustainable health' may have a meaningful impact on its audiences, it is designed with versatility in mind — with complementary components that are geared towards conveying its message in an entertaining and educational way that is relevant for individuals of all ages, cultures and backgrounds. The core features of the project fall under two key interrelated features that will have an online and virtual presence, namely; the exhibit and auditorium events. These events will showcase at the attractive exhibition space and large event space of the Swiss Pavilion that draw in thousands of visitors per day.
SSPH+ exhibit events
SSPH+ exhibit events are held in the exhibition space of the Swiss Pavilion, where visitors are immersed in a 'scientainment' experience through eye-catching innovation fountains, screens, stages and much more!
SSPH+ innovation fountains
These are fountain shaped structures that look like water fountains and are scattered around the exhibition space of the Swiss Pavilion. Water droplets fall from the ceiling into the fountains- enticing visitors to take a peek inside! Each water droplet represents the idea that each idea is valuable- and every idea counts. Inside these fountains, images, screens, objects and lights can be seen and interacted with. Students from SUPSI Laboratoria Cultura Visiva are developing state of the art technological methods that will enable the innovation fountains to present information about SDG’s and public health in an exciting way that can be appreciated and learned from by people of all ages and backgrounds. Watch the "behind the scenes" of their work on the innovation fountains here.
SSPH+ quiz
This is a quiz that features questions and answers concerning health relating to all sustainable development goals in a fun and engaging way! The quiz will be exclusively showcased on the prime screen of the exhibit space of the Swiss Pavilion during the "health and wellness" week of the Expo. It also has a digital component so that people may interact with the quiz in more depth individually from their mobiles or laptops.
With its strong live and virtual presence, the quiz can help facilitate the understanding of health and sustainable development goals for users around the world. The quiz tool is being expertly developed by professionals in interaction design from SUPSI Laboratoria Cultura Visiva.
SSPH+ artistic sketches and parkour
Artistic sketches are short, meaningful performances carried out by students from SUPSI Accademia Teatro Dimitri that seek to visually demonstrate topics from health, Swissness and SDG’s and bring these topics to life! The sketches seek to translate scientific research through artistic performance so that complex scientific concepts can be more easily grasped. In addition, the artistic students will carry out a 'parkour' that will guide the visitor journey through the Swiss Pavilion, including SSPH+ events and support the effective communication of public health topics related to SDG's through artistic methods.
