Stronger Parents - Healthier Communities

Description

Partnership:Ceutí Municipality, Spain. Local authority.Viborg Municipality, Denmark. Local authority.ALIAT, Romania. Leading NGO in the addiction field (alcohol and other drugs).Gmina Miejska Iława (Poland). Local authority.Iskenderun Youth and Education Association (Turkey). Non-for-profit Association with a wide experience with disadvantaged groups (including immigrants from Syria).Euro-Net (Italy). Not-for-profit association specialised in the realisation of cartoons, electronic games, videos, apps, movies...Public Health Institute of Varaždin County (Croatia).Context/ background: Partners in this project educate adults on healthy preventive measures. They feel parents lack parenting and social skills, they don't use digital media in an effective and safe way, they carry out too sedentary lives and do not spend enough time with their children. Too, educators lack enough tools and methodologies to reach parents and encourage them to carry out healthier lifestyles.Project objectives: Through this project, partners with different backgrounds and experiences have collaborated to develop innovative ICT tools and methodologies for adults’ educators to reach parents, providing them parenting skills, making them aware of the importance of carrying out healthier lifestyles and offering them activities and tools to achieve these objectives. During the whole project special attention has been paid to social inclusion in order to reach people with fewer opportunities.Target groups: The main target has been adult educators to which partners made available the intellectual outputs developed through the project. Ultimate beneficiaries are families, carrying out healthier lifestyles (especially those with children from 0 to 18 years old).Project methodology:The partnership has developed two intellectual outputs: -Grow Together the game: devoted to adults and children, through which families perform offline tasks and at the same time create healthy media habits, control the amount of digital media in our lives and spread awareness about healthy lifestyles, and good parenting.-Grow Together: an app aimed at adult educators to give them a modern tool in order to reach families so that they can get inspired to start carrying out healthier lifestyles. This app serves as a virtual parents’ school and has an agenda of healthy activities to do in your community.To get powerful tools, acceptable by citizens and find out the best way to manage them, partners have worked on different topics which were treated in the transnational meetings:1. Kick-off meeting in Ceutí (Spain)2. Communication/ working tools in Potenza (Italy).3. Social skills in Bucharest (Romania).4. Healthy Communities in Varaždin (Croatia).5. Media literacy in Viborg (Denmark).6. Development of the Guide for Educators in Iława (Poland)Each partner organising each topic led the work during that semester. Topics were distributed according to each partner expertise. Social inclusion was treated in a transversal way in every step of the project, a work led by Iskenderun Youth and Education AssociationResults and impacts: Very powerful tools and materials for educators addressing parents and families on health issues have been created: the app and e-game Grow Together, a Guide for Adult Educators with partners’ best practices explaining SPAHCO methodology and how to adapt it to other territories, a leaflet on Healthy Media Habits, a Toolkit for the Immigrant, the story to promote healthy eating habits “How Gulliver got ill in the land of Lilliputans”.The great advantage of these tools is that they have been tested in 7 different countries, evaluated and improved. All intellectual outputs are totally transferable to other territories and available in 8 languages (English, Spanish, Danish, Romanian, Polish, Turkish, Italian and Croatian).This project has had a great impact on participants, organisations, adult educators and families, helping them to carry healthier lifestyles.Sustainability of this project is assured since these tools will be used in partners' organisations day to day work.
