Financial Literacy International Programme (FLIP) aims at financial education. Its main goal is to establish an efficient and sustainable model of financial education through development and implementation of the Financial Literacy course at the participating universities which will ensure the regular flow of students who will be educated to deliver financial literacy to disadvantaged citizens. The university students are multipliers who can reach and spread acquired knowledge further among their families, acquaintances, community, and other citizens in their natural social environment which will significantly contribute to positive change in their financial behaviour.The originality of the model prevails in the aim of financially educate underprivileged citizens through university students. Implementing the Financial Literacy course into the university’s study plans is a unique element facilitating the multiplying effect of disseminating financial education among the population. What is more, the programme has ample effects. The students absorb the financial knowledge at the university and amplify it through delivering such knowledge in practice to the disadvantaged citizens. The project incorporates the component of expertise and skills together with support for practical and personalised learning.The profile of participants ranges across population including university students, adults, vulnerable groups, including socially disadvantaged citizens. Therefore the activities consist of intellectual outputs, such as the development of Financial Literacy virtual learning platform, university course Financial Literacy, the creation of online interactive materials and course curricula, and research supporting the outputs development. The disseminating activities involve the active transfer of gained knowledge via young adults to socially disadvantaged citizens, through visiting asylum houses, children houses and other institutions.The FLIP programme aims to develop an innovative and sustainable model of financial education where programme participants will pass such knowledge and skills to other citizens hence it has the potential to improve the level of financial literacy of the whole population in general.

<< Background >>Currently, the rapidly growing demand for medical services, the growing popularity of activities related to health, healthy lifestyle, healthy eating, including the use of natural ) data and their sources. For several years, there have been demands to look for new professionalisation paths that meet these needs. Therefore, there is also a noticeable lack of educational offers to organize the highly dispersed knowledge in the area of supporting the organization of family health processes. The areas of this process include physical activity, diet, mental health, relationships, which become even more important in situations such as a pandemic, especially e.g. are of particular importance for overweight and obese people, which are a risk factor for the severe course of many diseases, including COVID-19. This gap may be filled by health counseling, which in Western literature is defined as a form of professional counseling activity focused on disease prevention, health promotion and support for recovery processes. Unfortunately, in many European countries (both in Poland and in other partner countries) efforts to develop and implement such a solution have not met with a positive response so far, despite the efforts of, above all, the research team of the UKSW Family Studies Department and partner institutions - especially Universita Cattolica Del Sacro Cuore. As we know, Italy suffered the most (among the partner countries) as a result of the pandemic. The remaining partner countries have been affected to varying degrees by the Covid-19 pandemic, and have faced specific problems stemming from, on the one hand, varying levels of medical care as well as health counseling approaches. The best situation in this respect is in Germany, which has the best level of health care among the partner countries and there are attempts to develop a health counseling system.Populations are comprised of individuals and families who together affect the health of the community. Each family unit is an is an important link for maintaining health and preventing disease for public health and health systems because all family members may support and nurture one another through life stages. Family-oriented health promotion and family-based disease prevention are the most important addressees of educational strategies because the family is both a resource and a priority group needing preventative and curative services across whole life(Barnes MD, Hanson CL, Novilla LB, Magnusson BM, Crandall AC, Bradford G. Family-Centered Health Promotion: Perspectives for Engaging Families and Achieving Better Health Outcomes. Inquiry. 2020;57:46958020923537. doi:10.1177/0046958020923537).As describes Health And Family Life Education Resource Handbook, family based health education should focus on the development of the whole person (https://healtheducationresources.unesco.org/sites/default/files/resources/bie_hfle_resource_handbook.pdf), in that, it:•Enhances the potential to become productive persons;•Promotes an understanding of the principles that underlie personal and social well- being. •Fosters the development of health-related knowledge, skills and attitudes that make for healthy family life. •Increases the ability to practice responsible decision-making about health behaviour.•Aims to increase the awareness that the choices we make in everyday life profoundly influence our health and personal development wellFamilies are important players in public health. Yet, since no one pattern for healthy families is known (Barnes MD, Hanson CL, Novilla LB, Magnusson BM, Crandall AC, Bradford G. Family-Centered Health Promotion: Perspectives for Engaging Families and Achieving Better Health Outcomes. Inquiry. 2020;57:46958020923537. doi:10.1177/0046958020923537) there is the need to build and enlarge inter-family health potential. There is the need to foster higher capacity for family health systems to function appropriately in public health practice.<< Objectives >>Starting from end of 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has caused unknown erlier health crisis across the globe. Due to the current challenges of the health services, less attention and fewer effort have been spent on the prevention and effective health promotion. Especially immune-health promotion, wchih could be suppported with herbal medicine. The prevalence of the herbal medicines use is on the rise across the world, because of effectiveness and fewer side effects than other medicines.The widespread belief is that wealthy and socioeconomically advantaged populations tend to seek disproportionately more modern medical treatments and medications. But studies demonstrated that herbal medicine use is more concentrated among socioeconomically advantaged households. Our Project can be usefull to reduce socioeconomic inequalities in the use of medicinal herbs.The widespread use of herbal medicines provides an opportunity for family members to suport in self-management practices (Clement, Y.N., Williams, A.F., Khan, K. et al. A gap between acceptance and knowledge of herbal remedies by physicians: The need for educational intervention. BMC Complement Altern Med 5, 20 (2005). https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6882-5-20; Huang J, Tao G, Liu J, Cai J, Huang Z, Chen JX. Current Prevention of COVID-19: Natural Products and Herbal Medicine. Front Pharmacol. 2020;11:588508. Published 2020 Oct 16. doi:10.3389/fphar.2020.588508). Eg. how to use herbal remedies to simulate the immunesystem, as complementary suport during child-obesity treatment, childdiabetes treatment or nutrition problems.Family based health education should also identify factors associated with successful nutrition education interventions conducted in families (Tanas, R., Marcolongo, R., Pedretti, S. et al. A family-based training program for obesity: a three-year study. BMC Pediatr 7, 33 (2007). https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2431-7-33). Establishing healthy dietary practices at an early age is crucial.Our Project can promote empowerment in health from childhood and develop life skills and health competencies. A family-based health intervention can be used for better control of population’s health. Due to the strong need to respond to the needs of the transnational team, the development of 1) a methodology for the work of a Family Health Advisor 2) a model training program for Family Health Advisor covering areas (Resource-based family counseling support, Support for people with disabilities, Health promotion in the family life cycle, Basics of gardening, herbal medicine and herbal medicine, Dietetics, nutrition, Planning and organization of physical activity, Communication, relationships, coping with stress, Addictions, addiction prevention, disorders, Elements of medical knowledge, Legal determinants of health counseling) 3) FHA competence profile and 4) Analyzes of the conditions for implementing family health advisers in family support systems in Partner countries.Bearing in mind the analysis, the project is aimed at developing a professionalisation path for a family health adviser using the solutions and experiences of the participating countries, integrating interdisciplinary specialist knowledge. Initial assumptions assume that a family health adviser is a family health adviser is a person with professional knowledge in the field of a healthy lifestyle (e.g. eating behavior, eating disorders, addictions), the basics of herbalism / gardening, dietetics and dietary supplementation, combined with high advisory and communication (e.g. conversation, motivational dialogue, psychosocial support), knowledge about the family, its development and functioning as well as the issues of medical, medical and legal support (information on diseases, possibilities of obtaining support, etc.). A family health advisor is able to provide direct counseling support, as well as help in obtaining it and redirecting the family to the appropriate specialist.<< Implementation >>Has basic and varied knowledge allowing for advisory and information activities. He knows the boundaries of his activity and has knowledge about the organization of medical care and medical .The presented assumption is an opportunity to collect and systematize dispersed (approx.) Counseling activities into one, secured and coherent support system and its professionalization. In this form, it responds to the growing demand for health-related services.Activities:1) Developing results, including the Family Health Advisor training program, where a test training course will be carried out in each country in groups of 8 people - a team of 8 people will consist of 1 main expert and 7 trainers / experts - all will be experts in various fields related to the subject health, incl. mental health, nutrition, exercise, herbal medicine. This will allow to refine the Model FHA curriculum, identify any inconsistencies or gaps in the content of education, verify the adopted methodological assumptions, use tools (e.g. exercises and other training materials).2) Dissemination seminar / workshop - in each partner country, during which the objectives and results of the project will be presented, including the result O1, O2, O3, O4, i.e. a training program for family health advisers. On the other hand, during the workshops, participants will be able to check and test the elements of the model training program on their own. Instead of one big meeting in each country, we plan to do 3 meetings of 25 people (1 in each country).3) Short training programs for employees of partner institutions, i.e. a total of 4 trainings of 10 people, 2 person each from country partner. Training stays in (partner's country) will be objective at acquainting with the specificity of the institution and showing the developed solutions against the background of the implemented activities. Visits will be carried out in the workshop formula. Each visit will include partner organizations, selected practical institutions, and visits to the classes.As part of the training stays, the participating coaches / trainers of the partners will participate in joint (daily) workshops during which the educational content and methods developed within the project will be jointly practiced. Workshop participants will acquire knowledge / competences in the field of (1) types and specificity of health counseling, (2) programs and specificity of education in medical and peri-medical professions (3) knowledge and specificity of the disciplinary and methodological and didactic workshop of educating staff (4) integration possibilities practical classes in educational programs. Joint workshops are an indispensable element that allows you to learn about the differences and specificity of each individual countries, perspectives represented by individual institutions and the possibility of using the solutions developed by them.<< Results >>The main goal of the project is to professionalize the model of a family health adviser as a new offer of medical related services, and this will be achieved through the development of:1) Detailed methodology of work of the Family Health Advisor, including the scope of tasks and activities, competences and competence boundaries (in particular between the medical services sector)2) Model treining program for Family Health Advisors (FHA) (content, curriculum, course modules, learning outcomes) and the FHA quality management and professional development system.3) FHA competence profile (taking into account various dimensions of its functioning)4) Analyzes of the conditions for implementing the activities of family health advisers in family support systems in Partner countries.Additionally, the impact of the project on participants, participating organizations, target groups and other relevant stakeholders(1) Professionalization and quality assurance of health-related services. Project activities are an opportunity to organize and qualitatively secure services in the area of ​​medical support for families. This very dynamically developing area of ​​activities is characterized by the lack of recognized standards and work security. The standards developed in an international partnership will contribute to an increase in the quality of services and increase the availability of high-quality services.(2) The way family support is perceived and the paths of professionalization of people working with families. The project promotes a positive model of working with families. The implemented activities will contribute to the dissemination of such an approach, in line with the perceived need to support the family in the context of health issues and health promotion.It will also contribute to the dissemination of new models of working with families, supporting the activities of those people and organizations that try to reach a wider awareness with the offer of a developmental, positive perception of working with families.(3) Quality of educational activities in universities (3 partners are universities) related to health, including improvement of methodological and didactic preparation of staff. By developing high-quality educational materials, programs, and lesson plans promoting new and up-to-date solutions in the field of working with family health, it is expected to improve the substantive, methodological and didactic preparation of the institution's employees and - in the longer term - recipients of the results of intellectual work. This situation can be expected to translate into (better) student self-esteem.(4) Prestige and reception of the organizations participating in the project, including increased recognition in the immediate social environment of the participating institutions and their organizational units. This will translate into interest in the educational offer of partners and - indirectly - in non-educational activities undertaken by them (conceptual, research, implementation activities). The implementation of an international, ambitious project on a current socio-political topic and in line with the strategy and mission of the partners will improve the reception of institutions and engaged employees.(5) Level of internationalization of education: project activities will foster the intensification of exchanges between partners. Following the activities of the partnership, it is possible to anticipate increased interest of students and staff in participation in mobility activities, and greater opportunities to attract foreign students interested in the discussed issues.(6) The implementation of a complex, international project will support the development of competences of the participating organizations, allowing them to learn from each other and motivating them to undertake further initiatives.(7) Development of transnational cooperation.

"The topic ""Health"" is one of the main policies of the European Union (EU). The national authorities are responsible for organizing and providing health care and the task of the EU is to complement the national policies. Health also has an important impact on economic prosperity. Concrete EU measures include the development of tools to help EU countries to work together and identify best practices. In Germany a large number of health networks and health regions have been established in recent years and also Austria knows the benefits of the concept of regional health networks. Health regions describe themselves often as geographically defined clusters that aim to ensure a coordinated health and social care of the population through a network of all stakeholders involved in the supply process. On this background Com.HeNet will develop tools, which help EU countries to work together and identify the merger of the players or stakeholders into a ""Health Network"" (HN) as a process in which the improvement of and the access to health of the citizens in the different living environments in a specifiable region is focussed, as good practice.Aim of the project is to develop curriculum modules for ""Health Network Management"" (HNM) with a European standard, which enables a professional in health to implement and manage a HN on regional level. To get an efficient overview about the needed competences for this HN manager and the given structural and environmental circumstances, these competences will be analysed by desktop research and structured/guided interviews with relevant stakeholders and experts in the participating countries and envolved into national competence profiles. On basis of the national competence profiles a core competence profile will be developed for a HNM through comparison of all collected information and a collation with relevant European Competence Frameworks and European Qualification Framework (EQF). Furthermore an important objective are the curriculum modules on EQF level 6 with content and materials on basis of the developed core competence profile. These curriculum modules will be tested by a pilot training with participants presenting the later target groups and will be reviewed on basis of the pilot training and the feedback. Further on, an important objective of Com.HeNet is the description of a Data Management System and the development of a guideline for digital skills and competences, on basis and with the use of the Digital Competence Framework for Citizens (DigComp 2.1), which both will be used for the development of the curriculum modules, as an independent Output of the project and for the implementation and the later management of the HN by the managers. These are important aspects, because of the proceeding digitalization and the significance of the use of digital data and information for improving health care and prevention of people. Therefore these Outputs also will flow into the development of the curriculum modules. The curriculum modules as important Ouput of the project are expected to get included into higher education and vocational education curricula to enable professionals in health to implement and manage HN on regional level in EU countries. On the longer run the project contributes to the improvement of the regional supply structures in EU countries. In this way Com.HeNet contributes to the EU Health Strategy. Therefore the curriculum modules have an explicit European added value and will contribute to overcome the mismatch between given and needed competences in health sector across the EU.Long term aim of the project is the further cooperation of the project partners, the participating stakeholders and experts. The long-term presentation and dissemination of the curriculum modules are of great importance for all project partners. Furthermore the consortium will check the possibilities for further cooperation projects for an implementation of regional HN in several partner countries on basis of the developed curriculum modules and the digital competence guideline. Therefore the partners need a strong, trustful and efficient network on regional, national and European level."
