Dear CHIFA colleagues,

I’m pleased to invite you to our Global Session: Listening to children on ‘Back to school’ in the current pandemic, at the World Health Network (WHN) Global Summit to End Pandemic, which I have organised.

Date and Time: 4 Nov. 2021 at 09:00 to 10:00 am (New York USA time).

Please join us by registering (free) at www.worldhealthnetwork.global/summit-info

With the current pandemic it is a very difficult period for children to cope with ‘online’ school classes or going ‘back to school’ under a new school environment and misinformation on COVID-19. It is a wonderful opportunity to hear children’s perspective from diverse backgrounds in several countries about their challenges and their ideas of keeping themselves safe and the sources of information they rely on. WHN was set up to bring people from very diverse expertise and backgrounds, to work together for a ‘ZERO COVID’ environment.

Please bring your children and family to hear children from several countries talking about their experiences during this pandemic.

Best wishes

meena
