Leading community innovators, researchers and advocates come together to share experiences, strategies, and new ideas. It’s a space for collective learning and inspiration for effective alcohol policy advocacy, prevention approaches, recovery support, exposing the alcohol industry’s tactics, and shifting the public discourse.
We provide dedicated spaces for deeper learning. Here, members can explore core themes of our movement—alcohol policy change, recovery and mutual help, value-based communication campaigns and more.
Join sports sessions, creative workshops, games, crafts, and relaxing wellbeing activities. Whether you want to move, make, learn, or just have fun.
The World Congress is the highest decision-making body of our movement. Our members come together to shape our shared future: we will adopt a new strategic plan, set our direction toward the Framework Convention on Alcohol Control (FCAC), and elect the Board that will lead our work in the coming years.
Here you can get a sneak-peek of the rich program we are preparing for the Movendi World Congress. Several activities, workshops, and speakers to be announced soon. For a simple one-page overview of the whole program, click here.
