UNIT 3: WORLD HEARING DAY THEME AND MATERIALS

 

Each year, WHO develops the theme and key messages and information materials, which are then shared widely through WHO’s regional and country offices and their partners. These are used and often adapted by partners across the world to undertake activities on and around the day. All the materials are made available in the six UN languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Spanish and Russian).
