By implementing VICEPRED Project our intention was to increase knowledge, skills and attitudes of parents-to-be from the beginning of the pregnancy in order to achieve better parenting outcomes and facilitate the development of the child's potential, The Virtual Centre for Prenatal Education, created by the 9 Project Partners on the e-learning platform www.omaedu.ro, enables future parents to be aware of the importance of preparing for child conception several months in advance by adopting a healthy lifestyle, provides information to make conscious choices and live in harmony during the prenatal period and to develop parenting skills before birth. The Virtual Centre for Prenatal Education consists of 9 thematic rooms grouped in 3 Hubs: Relationship, Information and Soft Skills Hub.. Visiting each of the 9 rooms is part of a journey where both future parents and the professionals who accompany them, as well as the general public, can discover new ways to relate to their daily life when the baby appears, first as an idea, then as a cell, an embryo, a foetus and then as a long-awaited baby. We want to raise awareness at the societal level of the importance of preparing for conception and the birth of future children.
To address the significant need for accessible, science-based, and holistic prenatal education among future parents and related groups. VICEPRED was created to offer information, skills, and emotional support through interactive and innovative digital tools—educational games, videos, slideshows, doodles and more—structured into three Hubs: Relational, Informational, and Soft Skills. Based on the needs expressed by 550 respondents across partner countries through a questionnaire applied before the project, we identified gaps in understanding key pregnancy stages, healthy lifestyles, and emotional preparedness. Respondents also expressed the need for better communication with their partners, families, and even the unborn child, along with tools for stress management and creativity development. Through this project, we aim to empower future parents from diverse backgrounds to find creative solutions and take an active, informed, and joyful role in welcoming new life, help professionals to acknowledge future parents’ needs providing support for a more conscious parenting. VICEPRED helps restore the balance between the medical and emotional aspects of pregnancy, promoting public awareness of the importance of prenatal education.
