📢 We are very excited and proud to announce that we have created an online course to support patient organisation (PO) leaders in better involving young patients in their organisations [Link below].
📝 In this course, as a PO leader, you will learn:
1. Why is youth engagement important for POs?
2. How to create a youth strategy for your POs?
3. How to coordinate and maintain a youth group over the years?
4. Top Tips on how to work with and engage youth in your organisation.
5. Success stories of young patients who have successfully been involved in their POs.
💭 As young patient advocates ourselves, we have each had first-hand experience in the different ways that involvement can take place. Through our research and communication with other young patients and PO leaders, we recognised the need for a supportive platform for PO leaders trying to better involve their young patients.
❤️ We hope you enjoy the course and share it with your patient communities and beyond. For patient organisations to grow, they need to be fostered and developed by us, the youth, and therefore we need to be effectively involved!
