YOUTH PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP


TIME: 09:00-18:00


A Youth Pre-Conference Workshop will be held on 17-18 March for young people from Abu Dhabi, the Middle East and other parts of the world. This workshop will aim to empower the young participants by building their leadership and advocacy skills and provide a common networking platform for tobacco control campaigns through exchange and mentorship opportunities. The workshop outcomes will be presented to the WCTOH delegates as recommendations from the youth delegates to the global tobacco control fraternity. 


During the first day workshop, tobacco control experts from across the world will interact with the selected young delegates (aged 18 to 30 years) to deliberate with them on the current tobacco control scenario and envision innovative methods to put an end to tobacco. Goals include building their capacity to use surveillance data on tobacco trends and to engage in advocacy efforts calling for policy action. The workshop will highlight the unique challenges posed by trends in tobacco use among young people, including the use of shisha smoking, hookahs, smokeless tobacco, flavoured cigarettes and bidis. 

On the second day, participants will attend the Update on the WHO FCTC and MPOWER day-long symposium. 
Registration for a scholarship to attend the Youth Pre-Conference Workshop is NOW CLOSED.
