Final Transnational Meeting of the IDEAL Project in Budapest

On March 25, 2025, the final transnational meeting of the IDEAL project – Increasing DEaf Adult health Literacy through innovative methodologies – took place in Budapest. This meeting, organized by the Hungarian organization SignCoders in cooperation with SINOSZ, was a key milestone before the official conclusion of the project, which is scheduled for 30 April 2025.

The meeting marked the culmination of two years of collaborative effort by partners from various European countries involved in the project. The goal of the IDEAL project has been to improve health literacy among deaf adults and to provide them with access to essential health and prevention-related information.

Handbook for Adult Educators

One of the main highlights of the agenda was the presentation of the outcomes related to the handbook for adult educators, coordinated by the Italian organization TUCEP. Participants discussed the final version of the handbook, which is intended for training educators, as well as its translations into various languages. The handbook is based on results obtained through field research, which helped identify the main challenges faced by the project’s target group. At the end of the meeting, the partners agreed that the handbook would be a valuable tool in the further education process.

Improving Health Literacy of Deaf Adults

Organizations IRR from the Czech Republic and CNSE from Spain focused on improving health literacy among deaf adults. The discussion covered identified gaps in health education, the creation of educational materials, and pilot testing of teaching methodologies. In addition, the partners worked on the preparation of awareness-raising videos aimed at increasing knowledge about health-related topics among deaf adults.

Development of the Digital Platform

The Hungarian organization SignCoders presented progress in the development of a digital platform, which will serve as one of the project’s main outputs. The platform will provide educational materials, videos, and other resources related to health and prevention, accessible to a wide audience. Discussions included technical aspects of the platform, completion timelines, and challenges in implementation.

Dissemination and Final Evaluation

The organization INNOSIGN focused on evaluating the current state of project result dissemination. The partners reviewed plans for multiplier events, analyzed target audiences, and discussed the final steps needed before the project’s official conclusion.

Two Years of Collaboration

The IDEAL project brings together organizations from Slovakia, Italy, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Spain in a joint effort to enhance access to health and healthcare information for deaf adults. Thanks to this collaboration, valuable outputs were created, such as methodological materials, digital tools, and awareness-raising videos, all of which contribute to improving health literacy in this community.

All project partners agreed that the two years of hard work led to significant progress. We thank all partners for their dedication, expert contributions, and ongoing efforts. These results lay a strong foundation for further development in the area of health literacy for deaf adults.

The IDEAL project is nearing its conclusion, but its results will continue to serve as a valuable resource for the deaf adult community.
