H-CUBE Project


HBV-HCV-HIV: Three different and serious threats for European young people. A Network to study and face these challenges in the EU

Summary
H-CUBE project will be structured in three macro-tasks. Firstly, each partner will carry on the analysis of the local contexts studying the literature on the fight against HBV, HCV and HIV/AIDS to identify the best practices among EU countries, particularly among the partners. Secondly, thanks to the mapping and analysis of all the actions implemented in the participating countries, it will be possible to develop a multilingual and multimodal digital platform containing all the references (DB) about the health/education trainers, the key-actors of each participating country. This platform will also provide an e-learning environment for HBV, HCV and HIV education using innovative pedagogical approaches and new online learning and training methods. Finally, a prevention campaign will be organised in several meeting venues attended by young people to raise awareness about HBV, HCV and HIV/AIDS risk of infection among young people. The venues will be selected by the partners, with the teachers and managers of discos, pubs, bars and sport centres attended by young people to check their availability to host the prevention campaign activities.
The campaign will be based on actions in the traditional field and action in the digital field.
Each task has a precise outcome in order to achieve the general objective of the project. The identification of best practices among EU countries, particularly among partners of H-CUBE project in the fight against HBV, HCV and HIV/AIDS will aim to identify innovative strategies to promote safer sex among adolescents, including those at higher risk, including access to targeted services, and raised awareness of sexually transmitted infections and their prevention.
Starting from the analysis of local contexts and thanks to the international seminars, the project partners will be able to transfer the identified good practices in the new EU MS, by adapting the methodology of the local actors working in the fight of HBV, HCV and HIV/AIDS; identifying good practices and sharing the know-how of the most experienced partners, and creating a multiplier effect of the evidence base prevention methods proposed by the transfer of good practices.
These best practices will be transferred and disseminated in the New EU Member States by the seminar held in Lefkosia, e-learning training courses for Health/Education professionals and a prevention campaign addressing young people and their families.
The e-learning training course will prepare professionals and parents to teach on HBV, HCV and HIV programmes while, finally, the prevention campaign will be organised in several the meeting venues attended by young people.
