UICC’s World Cancer Day storytelling and art workshops
UICC’s World Cancer Day 2025 is all about people-centred care, recognising that each person's experience with cancer is unique and requires adapted care. To capture these diverse experiences, UICC is organising two special workshops in January to help individuals express their stories through writing or art.
World Cancer Day 2025 is focused on people-centred care, acknowledging that every individual’s experience with cancer is unique, and requires care specifically tailored to their life situation, values and aspirations.
For this reason, UICC would like to hear from people who are living with or have experienced cancer, their families and loved ones, caregivers, and healthcare professional. Their stories can inform, energise, and inspire others, and provide valuable insights into how to improve cancer prevention, treatment, care, and support for patients.
To assist people in sharing their stories, UICC is organising two special workshops in January to help them express their experiences through writing or artwork.
