STUDENTS AND ACADEMIC STAFF CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF FRAME HEALTH EDUCATIONAL MODULES

On 4 February, BISI hosted a participatory dissemination and consultation event within the Erasmus+ project FRAMe Health – Fostering Resilience Against Misinformation in Health, involving university students and professors from different academic disciplines connected to education, social sciences, and community engagement.

Participants were introduced to the broader concept of health literacy and its multiple dimensions, including:

  • accessing and understanding health information;
  • evaluating the reliability of digital sources;
  • recognising emotional manipulation and misinformation;
  • understanding the influence of social environments and online platforms on health-related behaviour.

A central part of the event was organised as an interactive role-play activity based on the principles of Phenomenon-Based Learning (PhBL). Participants worked in teams and were asked to imagine that they were creating a community organisation supporting adults facing challenges related to health literacy and misinformation.

Participants were also invited to propose practical recommendations and learning approaches that could be integrated into the FRAMe Health educational modules. Their suggestions emphasized the importance of:

  • practical and scenario-based learning;
  • accessible and simple language;
  • visual tools and checklists;
  • role-play and participatory exercises;
  • real-life examples connected to everyday health decisions.

The workshop created a collaborative learning environment in which students and academic staff actively contributed ideas for strengthening the relevance, accessibility, and usability of the FRAMe Health educational resources.
