World Hearing Day 2024: Introduction webinar

1 February 2024

The World Health Organization and all stakeholders are gearing up for the eagerly awaited World Hearing Day 2024. This year, under the theme "Changing mindsets: Let’s make ear and hearing care a reality for all!", we are taking significant strides to address the challenges posed by societal misperceptions and stigmatizing mindsets. Our focus is on overcoming these hurdles through awareness-raising and information-sharing, specifically targeting the public and health care providers.

In preparation for the advocacy and celebration surrounding this pivotal day, WHO has curated a diverse range of materials that partners worldwide can leverage. To facilitate engagement and disseminate crucial information, WHO will be hosting a special webinar with the following objectives:

  • disseminate key messages for WHD 2024
  • share the materials crafted for WHD 2024
  • provide details on the registration process and the small grants
  • discuss activities and actions planned for WHD 2024.

We invite you to join us on 1 February 2024 to delve into the theme, explore the materials, and share your ideas and plans for a successful World Hearing Day 2024. To accommodate participants in different time zones, the same webinar will be conducted twice:

Session 1: 08:00–09:30 CET

Session 2: 16:30–18:00 CET

For additional information about World Hearing Day, please visit the WHO website.

Together, let's make ear and hearing care a reality for all!
