Educating young NF Ambassadors
In summer 2023 NF Patients United again launches its academy for young adults affected by Neurofibromatosis. It will be an educational program, a mixture of joint discussions and individual work. Young patients, or siblings of patients, will learn about NF1, NF2 and Schwannomatosis, patient advocacy, patient involvement in research and how to deal with the challenges that they are facing.
Our training will allow participants to become NF ambassadors and to work with patient organizations on a national level and with NFPU on a European level, and that way represent the interests of young NF patients. They will meet patients with the same condition from all over Europe and work together for a better future for NF patients 💚💙
