October 2 - October 7
$645Shaping our shared future
World Congress – Movendi International’s highest decision body will meet for its 71st session in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia between October 2 – 7, 2026.
The Movendi International World Congress is more than an event – it’s a living experience of our movement in action. It brings together people of all ages, identities, backgrounds and nationalities to connect, learn, create, and celebrate.
Blending the spirit of a congress, the curiosity of a conference, the creativity of workshops, and the warmth of a camp and vacation, the World Congress offers space for both reflection and joy.
Across inspiring sessions, decision taking and strategic planing, exhibitions of promising practices, and shared moments of music, play, and togetherness, we explore how democracy, knowledge, and compassion can shape the societies we want to live in.
Here, every voice matters. Here, everyone belongs. Together, we shape a shared future – one rooted in democracy, justice, community, and joy. This Congress will amplify the voices of people and communities affected by alcohol harm, ensuring they are heard in debates about democracy, justice, and peace.
Alcohol prevention is more than health policy – it is a pathway to fairness, equality, and dignity. What we learn from each other, decide and create together in Slovenia will resonate across continents, strengthening the movement for justice, democracy, and human rights.
Voices that Resonate
At this Congress, we bring together stories and experiences from across the globe – stories of children, families, and communities affected by alcohol harm, and stories of hope, resilience, and change. By sharing them, we ensure these voices resonate in policy debates, in democracy, and in the public conscience.
Values that Resonate
Justice, peace, democracy, and participation are not abstract ideals. They are lived realities that guide our work every day. Through evidence-based alcohol policy and prevention, we give life to these values in schools, in communities, in parliaments, and in international cooperation.
Actions that Resonate
When we act together, our work carries far beyond this Congress. Alcohol prevention is not just about health — it is about protecting children, advancing gender equality, reducing violence, strengthening democracy, and creating space for everyone to belong. Our decisions and commitments made in Slovenia will resonate across continents.
Belonging that Resonates
To resonate also means to connect deeply. This Congress is about belonging — finding strength in each other, weaving our efforts together, and creating the courage to act.
