We are happy to provide you with plenty of material for your World Prematurity Day activities for free download. Each year, we develop a new topic and new material to support our community and everyone who wishes to engage in World Prematurity Day with social media graphics, banners, factsheets, and much more. We kindly ask you to respect the copyright and ownership of EFCNI regarding these materials. Below you find a few guidelines on how to use these graphics and other resources. We wish you great World Prematurity Day celebrations!

World Prematurity Day Chat
As in previous years, we organise an online chat on the occasion of World Prematurity Day to raise awareness about the challenges of preterm birth. The chat will take place on 14 November 2024 on X (formerly known as Twitter). The goal is to make the impact of preterm birth visible, to educate people about the topic, and to drum up attention for World Prematurity Day later that week.
Everyone is cordially invited to participate in the chat on 14 November (3-4 pm AEDT / 9-10 am EST / 2-3 pm GMT / 3-4 pm CET). Posts can be in English or any other language – it is also a great way to show how international our community is. Please just make sure to use #WPD24Chat in all your posts.
World Prematurity Day - Campaign material
Together with around 150 parent and patient organisations as well as medical societies and further supporting organisations, we have developed campaign material to raise awareness for preterm birth. Use the hashtag #WorldPrematurityDay2024 when using these graphics and remember to tag @efcni and/or @GlanceNetwork and @glance_network on Instagram. For further information, text templates, information on national and global events as well as all campaign materials at a glance, check out our social media toolkit. It provides you with all the input you need for your own World Prematurity Day campaign or activity.
