We are looking for PHM activists to join as watchers in Geneva. If you are keen in developing your knowledge on issues discussed at the meeting, and to be involved in strengthening these issues in your country or region after the meeting, please let us know. As the work is intense, being able to work under some pressure and still provide support to your co-watchers will be a great advantage. It is also important for the process if watchers are there for the full period of the meetings, including a preparatory workshop the week before the World Health Assembly. This means arrive on Monday 13th May and depart on 28th May.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 1.5em;border:0px none;outline:currentcolor none 0px;padding:0px">If you are interested in the politics of global health governance and understanding the role that people’s movements can play in UN processes, the preparatory workshop can be of interest for you. The Preparatory Workshop will be held between the 14th to 18th May and can be attended as a stand alone training workshop too.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 1.5em;border:0px none;outline:currentcolor none 0px;padding:0px">If you are interested in possibly participating in WHA72 Watch please fill in the form below. Please complete the form by 28th February 2019. If you are able to attend only the Workshop indicate this in the form. ( please do note that a small number of watchers ( 1 or 2) will be representing each region/circle due to the team being small ( 8-10) ).</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;border:0px none;outline:currentcolor none 0px;padding:0px;text-align:center"><a href="https://phmovement.org/who-watch-volunteer-registration/" style="color:rgb(30,115,190);box-sizing:border-box;background-color:transparent;text-decoration-line:none;border:0px none;margin:0px;outline:currentcolor none 0px;padding:0px" target="_blank"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;font-weight:700;border:0px none;margin:0px;outline:currentcolor none 0px;padding:0px">click here for the application form</span></a></p></div></div>
