Chance
Community health and Inclusion Through Youth-Based Education
About the project
CHANCE aims to improve health literacy among migrant youth and their communities by providing accessible, culturally sensitive information on healthcare rights, sexual and reproductive health, and mental well-being. The project will reach at least 200 young migrants and community members, empower 24 peer mentors from migrant communities as trained health literacy ambassadors, and strengthen the competences of 12 youth workers in delivering inclusive, trauma-aware, and culturally responsive health education.
Key results include a Health Literacy Toolkit with practical methods and multilingual materials, a Peer Mentor Training Pack for youth organisations and NGOs, awareness-raising materials co-created with young migrants, and a project website providing open access to all project resources.
The project aligns fully with Erasmus+ priorities on inclusion, diversity, and innovation, supports the EU Action Plan on Integration and Inclusion and the EU Youth Strategy, and contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals on health, education, and reduced inequalities.
