Second Transnational Meeting of the IDEAL Project in Perugia, Italy

The IDEAL project, which stands for “Increasing the Health Literacy of Deaf Adults through Innovative Methodologies”, organized its second Transnational Project Meeting (TPM2) on 10-11 January, 2024 in Perugia, Italy. The meeting was hosted by the organization TUCEP – TIBER UMBRIA COMETT EDUCATION PROGRAMME.

The main goals of the 2-day meeting were to discuss the progress and next steps of the IDEAL project’s Work Packages 2, 3, and 4.

Work Package 2 focuses on creating a Handbook for adult educators who work with deaf adults. Partners shared updates on their interviews and research about best practices in each country. They also talked about the plan for what will be in the Handbook, as well as plans for upcoming training for educators.

For Work Package 3, which involves creating learning experiences to improve the health literacy of deaf adults, partners received guidance and instructions on mapping the gaps in health knowledge and skills in the target group. This mapping will help shape the educational materials.

Lastly, Work Package 4 covers the development of an online platform for the project. The structure of the platform and next steps in building it were presented and discussed.

The meeting ended with a social dinner, which allowed partners to further discuss insights and strengthen their collaboration. Overall, TPM2 enabled partners to align on key tasks to move the IDEAL project forward in achieving its goal of empowering deaf adults in improving their health literacy.
