The social evening will take place at The Landmark Pub, located at 1 Kevin Street Lower, Portobello, Dublin, D08 DX2A. We look forward to seeing you there, accompanied by traditional Irish music!

In October, the EUPHAnxt team was busy with a wide array of activities, among which the kick off meeting of the mentoring programme (see pictures to the right) and contributing to the writing of the Primary health care policy and practice: implementing for better results – Youth-led outcome statement for the International conference celebrating the 45th anniversary of Alma-Ata and 5th anniversary of Astana declarations, as part of the Youth4Health network.
