Empowering School e-Health Model in the Barents region (ArctiChildren InNet (2012-2014))
Start date: Mar 9, 2012, End date: Dec 8, 2014 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The health and well-being of children and youth on the region is challenged in many ways. Some of these are common for the region, and some are also in connection to the regions´s special features such as sparse population and limited availability of services. Youths' traditional sources of health information are no longer satisfying their needs, and they are increasingly using the internet for health-related information. Children and youth are also early adopters of new technologies. These are reasons why e-health services is seen as a positive possibility of improving the health services of children and youth on the Kolarctic region. The project will involve different groups in the mapping of the needs and planning of the services. Pilot schools (schoolchildren, parents, school-, social- and health care experts) are involved for mapping their attitudes, needs and wishes to develop health promotion through ICT. Also university students will be integrated in this process acquiring new knowledge. Achievements: The project has developed procedures for e-health in schools, through cross-border cooperation between pupils, parents, teachers, experts in social and health care as well as researchers in the ArctiChildren Network. The project has resulted in a model for e-health. It has created a framework for cooperation. During the project, an IT environment has also been built up, where a dialogue with new initiatives and approaches will be implemented on three levels: in the classroom, between expert and student, and between home and school.
