Rene Loewenson from TARSC held an interactive presentation and participatory session on How do we understand social participation and power in health, what role does it play in local health systems and what obstacles are faced in implementing it?
There was also work in groups, while three lectures posed questions:

- What can health managers and personnel do to improve social participation and public roles in health systems? (Rene Loewenson, TARSC)

The third day of the Spring School 2018 was held on Wednesday, April 25, 2018.
The first part of the last day of the meeting was aimed at presenting the role of basic health care in ensuring equity in health and well-being of the population through cross-sectoral cooperation in individual European regions and countries. The aforementioned role of basic health care was provided by participants and speakers from Flanders, Veneto, Catalonia, Wales and Slovenia.
After the presentation, a group workshop with moderated discussions followed. Participants who were divided into groups with representatives from the regions of Wales, Flanders, Veneto and Catalonia had the opportunity to learn more about each region and the functioning of health care. Because groups were alternately switched to individual representatives of the regions, they were making good use of the time they were assigned by asking many questions.
After intensive discussions, the groups reported back. With the address of the facilitator David Pattison and Peter Beznec, the director of the Centre for Health and Development Murska Sobota, the Spring School 2018 concluded.
