12 – 14 September 2006:
A World Hearing Voices Day Celebration will be held in Umea.
From the 12th, there will be an information stand outside the library in the city centre, about the World Hearing Voices Day; about InterVoice; about the Hearing Voices Movement; and about the open meetings for voice hearers in Umea.
There will also be a poster with the INTERVOICE logo and the program for the 14th. (posters will be put up throughout the city)
On the 14th September from 11.00 to 15.00 we will also put up an information stand and table, at the same place as before, with books, articles, essays etc. Some information leaflets can also be handed out. Hopefully there will be some voice hearers present and available for people to ask questions and discuss issues. Some of the hosts from our meetings (some work within psychiatry, some in social psychiatry and some in consumer organisations) will also be there.
And in the evening, 6 p.m., two films will be shown by the user organisation RSMH: First a documentary and afterwards “Field of Dreams” There will also be room to ask questions and discuss experiences.
There will also be celebration of the day in Skelleftea. They will have their activity house open 5-7 p.m., so that people can come there to get information and coffee for free.
