19th European Student Conference

Start: 27.11.2008 16:00

End: 30.11.2008 13:30

The IPPNW European student conference 2008, ‘Target Earth’, is the 19th European student conference. The first goal of the conference is to bring together IPPNW-students and other people interested in IPPNW from all over Europe. Participants can exchange idea’s, learn from each other and improve their knowledge about IPPNW-related subjects. The students can argue their own opinion, and pass the knowledge on to others when they’re back home. In the future, the knowledge can be used to protect and improve health in general. The second goal of the conference is that the participants become motivated to start or continue working on local IPPNW-activities. The students have the chance to find useful contacts, and the participants can help each other with local activities after the conference.
