Bring your youth delegate to the WHO Regional Committee for Europe (2024)

Overview

Time to give youth a voice at the Regional Committee!

The WHO Regional Committee for Europe (RC) is WHO’s highest decision-making body in the European Region.

If young people are present, they are often only given observer roles or sidelined to side events that do not provide them with a say. We can change this!
