Our well-being ambassadors are a community of key EU policymakers and stakeholders committed to promoting citizens’ well-being at European, national and local level.
Well-being Ambassadors endorse All Policies for a Healthy Europe’s goals and promote initiative’s objectives through awareness-raising events, written contributions and by sharing their experiences and ideas with our Knowledge Partners. For more information about the Well-Being Ambassador Program, feel free to contact the All Policies for a Healthy Europe Secretariat.

Member of the European Parliament, EPP, FI
