efhco enabled through the HCIM2026 scholarship program set up by our hosting member Fondation Theodora, Sriharsha G.N., a healthcare clown from The Doctor Parrots #India the opportunity coming to Europe, sharing now this 1st experience:
“It was a wonderful experience for me at #HCIM2026. My participation with your additional support has been invaluable for me and my team back in Bangalore. As you are aware, there aren’t too many health care clowning organisations from India and it is a huge struggle for us in terms of growth and sustainability in artistic, organisational and management capabilities. During the 3-days HCIM conference, I could participate in different panel discussions, sessions and plenary sessions. Additionally, I could meet so many fellow members and exchange ideas, understand and learn from their clown doctor experiences and providing me an extraordinary platform to connect with experts and seek their guidance and support in our work at home.
This has given me and my organisation, The Doctor Parrots, a way forward to continue working in a professional manner. It was wonderful to see so many people across the world very sincerely working to bring the benefits of healthcare clowning to all the people in stressful environments. Just this awareness gives us a big booster dose of confidence to continue working in Bangalore. Thank you all!”
