With BLISS we intend to contribute to developing Digital Health Literacy in Europe through targeted training, documentation, and experimentation in the school sector. More specifically, for all target groups, we have already started to generate impact in the following areas: - Increased sense of initiative and participation in digital health - Improved level of competence in the responsible use of digital health services - Multiplication and sharing of learning experiences based on real and positive needs through digital health - Increased motivation to promote and take part in initiatives on health education and digital literacy in general - Improved levels of independence, self-confidence, and autonomous initiative - Improved communication and teamwork skills - Improved psychological health (physical, mental and emotional) - Increased awareness of open-source alternatives in the world of digital health technologies.
The BLISS project aims to provide essential tools for analyzing and understanding news and content in the field of health, a crucial aspect of digital health literacy. Through the involvement of teachers and school professionals, we investigated the “health needs” of students, highlighting the need to distinguish between reliable sources and fake news, especially on topics such as psychological well-being, mental health, online safety, addiction and sex education. The goal of the project is, therefore, to prepare tools that not only consolidate these fundamental skills for personal growth, but also make young people active and aware citizens at the European level, able to navigate in a safe and informed way in the area of digital health.
