'Mission, Goals and Objectives

Mission:
The mission of the Student and Young Professional Working Group is to identify, support and serve the needs of this IUHPE membership category by mobilising student and young professional members within the professional network.

Similarly to the operation of the general IUHPE membership, this group will fulfil its mission by building and engaging an independent, global, professional network of people to encourage the free exchange of ideas, knowledge, know-how, and experiences, and by developing relevant collaborative projects, both at global and regional levels, and possibly, by topic.

Goals:
This working group has four major goals:
1. To encourage student/young professionals’ participation in the larger IUHPE network.
2. To create resources, programs and projects that meet the needs of student and young professional members.
3. To enrich the strength of the IUHPE by contributing the unique perspectives, experience and energy of students and young professionals to current projects, programmes, publications and conferences.
4. To become active in shaping the IUHPE of the future according to the needs and interests of students and young professionals.

Objectives:
This working group will pursue these goals by:
1. Creating forums and mechanisms for students and young professionals to exchange ideas regarding their needs, interests and possible opportunities.
2. Mobilizing the student and young professional membership within the organisation to ensure they are appropriately represented in the general organisation.
3. Undertaking activities that are in line with the overall mission of the IUHPE that the group feels are being neglected or would like to initiate.
4. Providing links for one another within the global network which can facilitate our learning and professional growth.
5. Strengthening the capacity of the organisation to fulfil its mission into the future.'
