We are less than 6 months away from the Third People's Health Assembly
(PHA3) and preparations are taking place full steam ahead!


The website is updated, the venue confirmed, the overall program themes are
set and registration is open! For more information please go to the PHA3
website <http://www.phmovement.org/en/pha3>.

   - Register now for participation in the PHA3
    <http://www.phmovement.org/en/pha3/registration>
   - Register now for a self organised
workshop<http://www.phmovement.org/en/pha3/self-organized-workshop>


In terms of mobilisation, we are very interested in hearing what is
happening in regions and countries leading up to PHA3. We are gradually
beginning to receive some news on what is happening around the world such
as connections being established, ideas of concurrent events being
explored, regional meetings and workshops being prepared.

We look forward hearing what is happening on your side!

Most importantly now is to get out the message that PHA3 is taking place
and that registration is now open! We count on each of you to contact
people to speed up the communications around PHA3 in your region/country
ensuring all PHM health activists are aware of the PHA3 and find ways to
attend.


Some ideas for PHA3 mobilisation follow. We encourage you to share this
with the country circles in your region. The PHA3 information brochure
which can be used for fundraising and mobilisation activities is being sent
in a separate email today.

*PHA3 is a people-centred platform for sharing - Be part of PHA3 now!*

PHA3 offers a platform for the Movement to express itself, celebrate
achievements, analyse global health, strengthen solidarity, facilitate
learning and sharing, re-assess past activities, build networks and make
new and valuable connections! It also offers a platform for exchange of
ideas and cultures through creative means. We encourage PHM friends to
assist in shaping the cultural and creative spaces within PHA, within the
framework of strategising towards Health for All.


This can be done by bringing music, theatre, film and art from your region
and country to Cape Town and by organising mass events, self organised
workshops and sessions. Through these we can use PHA3 as a space to connect
and share.

There will be display space, screens for video showings (documentaries,
short films, promotional video's, etc), stages for music and theatre, space
for art work, etc . We will organise the logistics to facilitate your
contributions!

Please contact Anneleen on Anneleen at phmovement  with your questions, ideas
and suggestions!

*Sponsorships will be limited - how to attend the PHA3?*

Unfortunately the financial environment has made fundraising centrally
extremely difficult – we do however continue sending in proposals and hope
to raise more funds. This does impact on the number of scholarships we will
be able to provide. We would therefore encourage all regions and circles to
secure additional funding for sponsoring participants. Where possible,
please do also approach your organisations or academic institutions to
sponsor you. When contacting donors we would recommend to consult with Hani
Serag on hserag at phmovement  first to ensure a global alignment in
approaching donors.


** Looking forward hearing from you,
If you have any questions for clarification, feel free to contact me at any
time
