Conference Details
The 1st FANSSO International congress and Academic Research Symposium is set to take place from the 19th to the 21st of December 2016 in Kigali, Rwanda. The conference will see nursing students from across Africa convene at the University of Rwanda for a three-day convention designed to encourage networking, sharing of research, and inclusive decision making towards the future of nursing students in Africa.
Academic Research Day (19 December 2016)
The event will open up with an Academic Re-search Day (ARD) on the 19th of December which will provide platform for nursing students, groups, bodies, associations and organisations to present abstracts on projects and research from within their countries under the theme “Together in Nursing”. The opening day will give the opportunity for delegates to the congress to get to know one another and enjoy sharing expe-riences in nursing from their individual countries.
The academic research day will be followed by a Cultural Night where countries will get the opportunity to share aspects in song, dance, and dress or otherwise that make their individual country’s culture unique. The Cultural Night will provide a unique opportunity to foster friendship and cultural understanding between nations of the African continent.
Congress Meeting (20-21 December 2016)
The Congress meeting will begin on Tuesday the 20th of December 2016 and proceed into Wednesday the 21st of December 2016. The first day of the congress meeting will begin with discussions on FANSSO, its mission and vision, statutes and structure, followed by deliberation on the FANSSO International Action Plan. This day shall provide the framework for FANSSO’s future and be the guiding blue-print that the 1st elected FANSSO International Com-mittee shall use in taking the organisation forward. At the end of the 1st Day, nomina-tions for the delegates who will serve in the 1st FANSSO International Committee will be taken, and prospective candidates notified.
The second day of the congress meeting will be used to finalise any outstanding issues from Day 1’s agenda. Elections will then be conducted and the 1st elected FANSSO Inter-national Committee will be announced. The congress will then be officially closed by the 1st elected FANSSO International President and delegates will be free to either tour the beautiful Kigali or return to their individual home countries.
