The 13th WFOT congress was indeed one of the outlets that enabled occupational therapists and occupational therapy students to share experiences and ideas.

This was formulated and distributed to all delegates present during the council meeting. The aim of the questionnaire is that of having a general overview on how national associations promote Occupational Therapy in their native countries. This will help the W.F.O.T. to have a general idea on the types of promotional material that exist and how national associations promote Occupational Therapy. It is also aimed to highlight the needs/ ideas that various associations have regarding this matter.

Whilst we have prepared a full programme today, we wish that today's session will be an informal one where we will give you a chance to ask questions or seek more information. As many of you may know, 10 Maltese attended the WFOT 13th Congress entitled Action for Health in a New Millennium held in Stockholm, Sweden held in June 2002. This consisted of 5 students and 5 qualified staff. When one considers our occupational therapy population, it comes as no surprise that other countries were very impressed with the Maltese turnout since it represented a very high percentage of staff and students.

Thanks to Student Day we could easily recognise each other at the congress. The Swedish occupational therapy students organised a picnic for all the students on Wednesday 26th June. The message about the picnic was passed round by word of mouth. The picnic was a great success as it enabled us to get to know the students on a personal level. We got to know more about their life, their country as well as the areas they would like to specialise in after they graduate. The Swedish students tried to involve us in a traditional game which resembles baseball... hopefully I will never have to play this game again. Telling you I was hopeless at it would be an understatement. On the last day of the congress all the students wrote their email address and area of interest at the reception desk and the list was mailed to us last week.
