About the Conference
After three years of bringing mental health professionals together across Europe, EU-PROMENS is holding its Final Conference — a moment to reflect, celebrate and look forward. This is not just a closing event: it is a platform for turning shared learning into action.
The conference will bring together the programme’s participants, implementing partners, policymakers, and European stakeholders to present key achievements, discuss the EU-PROMENS Toolkit — a European blueprint for mental health capacity-building — and explore how the network built through EU-PROMENS can continue to inspire beyond the project period.
From exchange participants who crossed borders to learn from colleagues, to trainers who shaped new approaches in 30 countries, the voices of the EU-PROMENS community will be at the heart of the day.
|
A bridge between reflection and action. The morning focuses on sharing results and lessons learned from the Exchange and Training Programmes. The afternoon turns towards the future: how the EU-PROMENS Toolkit can support national implementation. |
