The Erasmus+ School Education program framework KA220-SC project BLISS - Boosting health literacy for school students started on 1 February 2022 and it will run until February 2024.

Strengthening digital health literacy will not only contribute to people’s abilities to better manage health information but their health and well-being as well as personal growth and active European citizenship.

The work program entails following focus areas and outputs:

1. Analysis and adaptation of the DigComp 2.1 framework (digital literacy) towards digital health literacy and further developing it to the BLISS Digital Health@School compentence framework (M1 – M9). Partners will conduct focus group interviews with secondary school teachers in their countries. The focus groups will aim at identifying particular teacher perspectives and needs regarding the effective promotion of digital health literacy through the DigiCompEdu framework.
2. Development and launch of the online platform ”Digital Health”. The platform will serve the purpose to provide an interactive online environment in which experts, digital mentors from partner organisations, teachers and students can interact in order to share and generate knowledge on topics of school health literacy and digital health literacy.
3. Development of a training programme in form of an massive open online course, aiming at teachers to strengthen their digital health literacy and their skills to teach digital health literacy to school students.
4. Training Toolkit and Experiment

The final result of BLISS will be the Training Toolkit. The training content will be based on the digital open educational resources (OER). The Toolkit will be developed in English and translated into the languages of the project partners andwill include the following components:

• Pedagogical framework for a blended learning methodology
• Training content based on the OERs available on the platform, based on the Methodological Framework for Digital Health@School
• Guidelines for teachers and learners on the co-creation of information campaigns
• Handbook on the use and exploitation of the online collaboration platform
• European Charter on Digital Health
