Where can we find Viva Salud on the festival site?
As last year, you will find our stand at Health Square, at the entrance to the festival site. Médecine Pour Le Peuple is inviting several organisations active in the field of health to attend. At our stand, you can find out more about our brand new campaign. #NotATarget. Come take a photo and show your solidarity with healthcare workers and activists under pressure.
Next to our information stand will be the cup stand. Once again this year, you can donate your cup to support the right to health. Instead of throwing it away or taking it home, you can donate it directly (50 pence) by bringing your cup to our stand or to one of our volunteers at the ManiFiesta site.
Finally, we are still at the looking for a helping hand Would you like to support the right to health in a friendly festival atmosphere? Fill in the form below! In exchange of four hours of voluntary work, we will refund your ticket for the festival.
