The World Health Innovation Summit (WHIS), together with the Global Social Prescribing Alliance (GSPA), is proud to support the 9th edition of World Wellness Weekend (WWW), taking place 19–21 September 2025.
As the World Health Organization continues to sound the alarm on rising inactivity, obesity, insomnia, loneliness, and depression, World Wellness Weekend offers a powerful reminder that wellness is essential to building resilient communities.
Over three days, more than 10,000 venues in 190 countries will open their doors to inspire millions of people to discover new ways to live well—whether through fun, inclusive fitness classes, yoga sessions, mindfulness workshops, or wellness experiences.
