Europe's People’s Health Assembly 2025

OVERVIEW

We warmly invite you to the People’s Health Assembly of PHM Europe, taking place from 31st October to 3rd November 2025 in Glasgow, Scotland. Together with activists, health workers, and academics from across Europe, we will gather to strengthen our collective struggle for health, justice, and solidarity. In a time of deepening crisis and rising inequality, this Assembly is a vital moment to come together and imagine alternatives rooted in solidarity and justice.

The Assembly kicks off on Friday afternoon with an International People’s Health University session on Public Pharma. The first half of this session will also be broadcast online as part of a webinar series on the Wellbeing Economy in Scotland. For those attending in-person, the discussions and activities will continue in the room for the remainder of the afternoon.

On Saturday, PHM Scotland will host a People's Health Assembly focused on building solidarity across the nation and developing activities and tools ahead of the upcoming elections in Scotland.

Sunday is dedicated to the PHM Europe Gathering, with keynotes on the militarisation and financialisation of public services and the way to a wellbeing economy, and strategic sessions to shape PHM-Europe future plans.

On Monday, we will focus on a tour of Glasgow, exploring the city’s history of activism.
