18th EUROPEAN CLUBHOuse coNFERENCE 2026
communication with purpose - from insight to action
When communication is used with purpose, it strengthens our movement - reducing stigma, growing visibility, building political and economic support, and equipping members with communication skills that open doors in today’s work market and within relations.
Oslo, Norway 30 NOV - 2 DEC 2026

Why Attend
Because communication shapes how people find us, understand us, and choose to support us.
The 18th European Clubhouse Conference will explore how communication — in everyday interactions, in our Clubhouses, and in society — can strengthen members, houses, and the European movement as a whole.
«Don’t let what you want to say get in the way of what your audience needs to hear.»
Over three days, participants will gain insight, practical skills, and concrete tools to:
reduce stigma around mental health
make it easier for potential members to dare to reach out to us
strengthen cooperation between Clubhouses
build trust with partners, employers and policymakers
create meaningful communication tasks for members
increase visibility and long-term sustainability of their Clubhouse
This conference is not about marketing.
It is about participation, belonging, and making the Clubhouse model more accessible and understood in today’s society.
