Descrizione del progetto
Access to health is considered a fundamental right at international and European level. Clear evidence indicates that LGBTI individuals still face strong healthcare inequalities which results in poor health and have consequences for their well- being.
LGBTI people have a significantly higher risk of well-being implications such as depression, anxiety, minority stress and social isolation.
Reflecting on these data the INSIGHT project will create an innovative Microlearning Programme which will lead HEI Healthcare undergraduate students and current healthcare professionals to greater acknowledgement of LGBTI people’s needs and promote an
inclusive healthcare system.
The INSiGHT project is based on the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the Treaty on European Union and on the idea that everybody has the right to feel
free and comfortable and have the vital right to entry healthcare services without being afraid to deal with a negative attitude and stigmatization.
The main aim of the INSIGHT project is to promote common values, inclusion, equality and participation through acquiring new competences, skills and guidelines about best practices regarding LGBTI people and their needs when accessing the health sector.
The project aims to:
• Empower awareness, recognition and acceptance of the factors that affect LGBTI people’s well-being and physical health.
• Promote and enhance Digital Transformation in HEI by creating a flexible and easily accessible digital learning material.
• Establish an equal health care provision for LGBTI people.
• Build acceptance and trust between all participants.
• Implement the final product within the respective partner countries to stimulate health initiatives and policies that support LGBTI people’s
rights and dignity.
The aim of the project will be achieved through the following activities:
• Project Management activities and Coordination, to ensure effective management of resources, time and budget and a good communication with the consortium and all the participants. Moreover, 4 Transnational meeting will carry out to support
the implementation of the INSIGHT project and build a close and trustful interaction between the partners.
• Quality Assurance activities, to regular monitor and evaluate the progress.
• A Good Practices guide (PR1) on LGBTI-friendly, inclusive provision of Healthcare services, to foster equality and enhance the protection against health inequalities that LGBTI individuals experience and strengthen the effort to build an equal Union.
• The design and development of the INSIGHT Microlearning Programme (PR2), to provide a relevant, targeted and engaging skills development, learning programme that can be sustained after the end of project delivery.
• The INSIGHT Massive Open Online Course (PR3), to promote high quality, learner-centred lifelong learning that involves the learner in its development, allows for learner
autonomy, is flexible and engaging.
• Dissemination activities: Stakeholder Identification, dissemination Plan, INSIGHT
project Website, INSIGHT Social Media Channels, dissemination materials, 6 multiplier events and a Final Conference, etc.. Those activities will contribute to the INSIGHT project’s goals and stimulate policy initiatives that empower the health sector in every country to become acceptable and supportive for LGBTI people, but also raise the awareness of all
participants and of the public.
• Exploitation activities, in order to establish the appropriate actions and ensure that all
project’s results stay available and accessible for all interested users, also after the conclusion of the INSIGHT project.
The INSIGHT project will give the possibility to HEI healthcare students and current healthcare personnel to fight the dearth of the appropriate knowledge and competences regarding LGBTI Health inequalities, their background, the terminology, their needs and the appropriate treatments.
To accomplish that the following project results will be designed and delivered:
• PR1: Good Practices Guide | The major aim is to develop of a Good Practices Guide which identifies what kind of support does HEI healthcare undergraduate students and current healthcare professionals need in order to embrace LGBTI people and have a positive impact on their wellbeing. The input of this Guide can be used also as a part
of other training courses.
• PR2: INSIGHT Microlearning Programme | This learning material will respond to the target group’s needs and willingness to improve the healthcare system and establish innovative initiatives that will lead in more inclusive and equal treatments. The course will include 4 modules that will address the well-being but also the physical health issues that may occur to LGBTI people’s lives.
• PR3: INSIGHT MOOC | A freely accessible Virtual Learning Environment containing the learning material, workshops, virtual activities and a community forum which allows
interactions and communication. Other expected results of the INSIGHT project such as Newsletters, Press releases and sharing and promotion materials will summarize the content and objectives of the project and ensure the exploitation and
sustainability of the project’s goals and expected results. Finally, future partnerships and collaborations will be enhanced.
