ICT Learning for Healthy Communities

This project, funded by Neighbourhood Learning in Deprived Communities, ran from October 2004 to July 2005. One aim of this project was to develop new first step ICT learning opportunities which focused on health. A second aim was to increase the resources and skills available in the voluntary and community sector, within regeneration areas of Manchester, for using ICT to promote health related activities to women.

New curricula was be developed which took health as a starting point for women to participate in learning which embedded learning about ICT as a basic skill. Health and well-being was used as a starting point to learning about ICTs, in particular the retrieval of health related information from the Internet and other electronic sources and the creation of local health information.

Resources and training were developed in community organisations for multi-language computer use (hardware and software) which widened participation in learning by women who had English as an Additional Language and were excluded from learning.
