Proceedings of the 2nd International Meeting of the Project CHANCE, 12. 6. 2009, Fulda, Germany

CHANCE describes new pathways to enhance and support people in the long term to be well-informed and to take responsibility for their own health. The focus of the project was based on the following questions:
  • What resources are offered by the community to live healthy or healthier and what are the barriers that need to be resolved?
  • Are there cultural differences in health behaviours and in the perception of health information?
  • What health information is perceived in general and by whom?
  • What information and health interventions are required?
In order to seek answers to the questions from a participative perspective, appropriate communities were identified by the participating partners in cities across six European countries:
  • Fulda, Germany – Südend und Kohlhaus
  • Jelgava, Latvia – RAF (Riga Automobile Factory)
  • Liverpool, United Kingdom – South Central Liverpool
  • Timisoara, Romania – Dumbravita
  • Uppsala, Sweden – Eriksberg
  • Vienna, Austria – Schneiderviertel/Simmering
