Wish-Granting Without Borders: Five European Perspectives on Healing and Hope

Experts, volunteers, and people with personal experience from five European countries came together to explore the impact of wish-granting on children facing serious illness and their families. The recording of the international Wish Alliance webinar is now available to watch online.

The international webinar Wish-Granting Without Borders: 5 Perspectives on Healing and Hope marked one of the final milestones of the Wish Alliance project. During the online event, participants from across Europe explored wish-granting through medical, psychological, social, and family perspectives, offering a unique opportunity to learn from different approaches while discovering the values shared by wish-granting organisations across Europe.

The programme featured speakers from all five Wish Alliance partner organisations. Participants heard a parent's personal story, reflections from a former wish child, insights from a volunteer, a medical social worker's perspective, and psychological expertise on the impact of wish fulfilment. Together, these diverse viewpoints demonstrated that a wish is far more than a single joyful moment—it is a carefully guided process that can strengthen children and their families throughout their journey with serious illness.

We would like to thank all speakers, partners, and participants for making this event possible. Their openness, experience, and willingness to share knowledge are exactly what the Wish Alliance project was created to encourage. If you missed the live event—or would like to revisit the inspiring discussions—you can now watch the full webinar recording on demand and continue exploring how wish-granting brings hope beyond borders.
