Launch of a Quadripartite toolkit: Engaging young people meaningfully for greater reach and impact in AMR

12:00pm - 1:00pm (GMT+1:00)
Online

Student and youth-led movements are concerned with a wide range of development, social and ecological issues. Therefore, they can serve as a catalyst for driving
multi-sectoral action to ensure a One Health response to AMR.

As part of the WHO Global Webinar Series to support implementation of national action plans on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), the Quadripartite is hosting
a webinar to launch its toolkit, ‘Antimicrobial resistance toolkit for youth engagement’. This toolkit aims to equip youth-led networks and youth-serving organisations with the resources to engage young people in AMR communication, education, and campaigns for awareness-raising, advocacy and behavior change.  

During this webinar, we will provide a space to discuss lessons and strategies for youth engagement, including insights from members of the Quadripartite Working Group on Youth Engagement for AMR.

The webinar takes place 4 December, 12PM CET.
Review time based on your time zone.
