CAPE TOWN JULY 6-11<br><br><div class="im"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">
We are less than 6 months away from the Third People's Health Assembly (PHA3)
and preparations are taking place full steam ahead!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><br>
The website is updated, the venue confirmed, the overall program themes are set
and registration is open! For more information please go to the <a href="http://www.phmovement.org/en/pha3" target="_blank">PHA3 website</a>.</p>
<ul type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.phmovement.org/en/pha3/registration" target="_blank">Register now for
participation in the PHA3<br>
</a></li><li class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.phmovement.org/en/pha3/self-organized-workshop" target="_blank">Register
now for a self organised workshop</a></li></ul>
</div><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="im"><br>
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. <br>
<br>
We look forward hearing what is happening on your side! <br>
<br></div>
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.<div class="im"><br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
<b><u>PHA3 is a people-centred platform for sharing - Be part of PHA3 now!</u></b><br>
<br>
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. </div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><div class="im">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.<br>
<br>
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! <br><br></div>Please contact Anneleen on Anneleen@phmovement with your questions, ideas and suggestions!<br><br></span>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="im"><b><u>Sponsorships will be limited - how to attend the PHA3?</u></b><br>
<br></div>
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@phmovement first to ensure a global alignment in approaching donors.<div class="im">
