Now is the time during which we would be preparing to meet in Brisbane for the 17th World Congress of WAIMH. We are saddened that the world has changed so much, that a meeting in person is not possible during this year.
Instead of meeting in person, we will be meeting online – however, this is not a substitute for the Congress which will be held, as planned, in Brisbane in June 2021. The Webinar aims to connect us through virtual space, giving us the opportunity to share information and insights about crises that affect our infants globally.
We are fortunate to have gathered our colleagues from all corners of the globe to speak to us and to allow for us to interact with them. (Some questions can be responded to through the “chat” function on the Zoom platform)
We plan for two WAIMH webinars, to make it possible for live interactions in different time zones. We will also record the webinars, so that they can be retrieved at a later time in WAIMH website and in WAIMH Youtube channel. AAIMH and the Infant-Parent Trust UK will organise an additional webinar in connection with the Brisbane Local Organising Committee.
