World Obesity Day 2021 was the most successful campaign on record, as obesity organisations, healthcare groups and civil society worldwide rallied around the theme of ‘Everybody Needs Everybody’.
This year, we are building on that success with the updated message that ‘Everybody Needs to Act’ to prevent, treat, and understand obesity and related issues such as weight stigma.
World Obesity Day 2022 is a unique opportunity for us all to call for change, and we are committed to providing all the help necessary for a successful campaign – including this online WOD participants’ support session on Thursday 3rd February.
This session will focus how to lead your organisation’s WOD 2022 campaign, and how we can successfully make the call for action, both together and in our separate localities.
During the workshop we will discuss:
- Key themes, actions, and audiences for World Obesity Day
- How to create, expand and refine your local plans for WOD 2022
- How to access the assets, resources, and support you need
- Where to find appropriate data regarding obesity in your country or region, to better support your campaign
- How to support a WHO Resolution on obesity
- How to put people living with obesity at the heart of your campaign
We will outline the steps in the process as we build to 4 March 2022, and there will be ample opportunity for members to ask questions regarding their preparations for WOD and to request further assistance.
We sincerely hope you will be able to join us. World Obesity Day would amount to be very little without our members and partners.
