The East and Asia Pacific (EAP) region of the People’s Health Movement has been working with the Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education to organise two events to be held at Batchelor College, Northern Territory, Australia in October 2025:

International People’s Health University (IPHU) course for health activists on "The Political Economy of Colonialism and Health" from 5th -11th October. '25

Regional People’s Health Assembly to mark 25 years of PHM on "The Struggle For Health: Political Economy Of 21st Century Colonialism" from 12th- 15th October, '25
