UICC Member Dialogues - 17:00 CEST

About Member Dialogues

The Member Dialogues are online spaces for UICC members to connect with peers, share individual experiences and perspectives and learn from each other via participatory approaches and techniques. Exclusive to UICC members, they intend to offer a unique space for open and informal discussion on given themes in a facilitated setting. 

In the current context where the COVID-19 pandemic creates new hurdles and uncertainties on how to access care, deliver support and other services, manage programmes, lead staff, and run health systems, the cancer community is faced with a wide range of questions and dilemmas. At a time when many may feel helpless and isolated, it is important to find space to reconnect with peers from around the globe who are confronted with similar challenges and rediscover a sense of community.

Framed around the three broad themes of cancer services and support, leadership and management and strengthening health systems, this session will allow participants to reflect on their individual and shared experiences, make sense of the complex challenges they face, and actively explore the questions arising from the current context, beyond the search for temporary responses. 

Three Member Dialogues will be held over three weeks at different time-zones to facilitate engagement across all regions. While the format and themes for each of these dialogues will be similar, the conversations will change, as the different member audiences in attendance will bring in different perspectives.

Though members are encouraged to join the dialogue of the time-zone geographically relevant to them, it is possible to take part in more than one (however, should a dialogue become oversubscribed, preferential entry may be given to those who have not participated before).
