Your story matters. Share it with the world.
Every journey with a lung condition is unique. Global Voices 2025 is an international campaign to showcase the real experiences of people living with lung conditions and those who support them. Whether you are a patient or caregiver your voice can help drive understanding, compassion and change.
Share your photoThis campaign puts real experiences at the heart of the conversation. By sharing honest, visual moments from your experience you are helping healthcare professionals, researchers and policymakers see the human side of respiratory health. Together, our photos and stories can breathe life into change.
That is it. Simple, honest and powerful. Your submission will be part of a global visual display launching at the European Respiratory Society Congress 2025 and featured in ongoing advocacy and awareness activities around the world.
Our platform makes it easy to upload your story on mobile or desktop. All submissions are reviewed before being published. You will find full consent and terms at the time of submission.
Submissions are open to everyone: patients, carers and loved ones are all encouraged to participate, as well as healthcare professionals who can help share the campaign with a wider audience.
Your voice will help shape the Global Voices 2025 initiative but will be seen by a global audience, including healthcare professionals and policymakers.

We are excited to launch Global Voices 2025, and we want to hear from every corner of the world. In the coming weeks, we will be tracking where stories are coming from on an interactive map, and we need your story to make it happen!
Colours on the map will represent a submission, each one a unique voice in our global movement. You can help us fill the map with stories from every country. Your submission could be the first from your region!
Join us to make sure the map reflects the true diversity of voices around the world. Submit your story today and be part of this growing global initiative.
(The interactive map will launch soon. Stay tuned to see the world come together as more submissions are received!)
