Urban Labs for Better Health for All in the Baltic Sea Region - boosting cross-sectoral cooperation for health and wellbeing in the cities

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Baltic Sea

Date of latest update: 2023-06-16

Description

Description (EN):

The Healthy Boost project addresses the health burden of city residents due to unhealthy lifestyles. Cities such as Poznan, Klaipeda, Jelgava, Tartu and Turku experiment with different methods of community participation, health learning or cross-sectoral cooperation. The main objective of the project is to make urban policies for health and well-being more innovative, more effective and more integrated. This includes work on cross-sectoral cooperation with potential to be used in other fields as well.

Achievements (EN):

How did it all started? The project developed a model for cross-sectoral cooperation for health promotion. It was based on scientific literature research and complemented by a self- assessment in the partner cities of Poznan, Klaipeda, Jelgava, Tartu and Turku. The self-assessment gave information of a city’s institutional capacity to implement cross-sectoral cooperation from two points of view: the formal structures for the cooperation (strategies, processes, practices) and the way cooperation works. The project identified gaps in five strategic and operational domains of cooperation: risk identification, leadership, communication, coordination, motivation. After the model was completed, the partner cities ran several pilots along the lines of the specific roadmaps that the city partners designed beforehand (to set scope, timing, goals, actors). First benefits from cross-sectoral cooperation. All pilots addressed the need for more effective cooperation for cross-sectoral urban policies for health and wellbeing. Even if the need and the model were the same, the pilots were different. One pilot addressed, for instance, the problem of residents’ physical inactivity, while another was about the need for healthier food in schools and children´s better-eating habits. One pilot focused on the lack of space for physical exercise, another was centered on the communication about health and wellbeing services. The following cities successfully run the pilots and started benefitting from applying cross-sectoral cooperation: Tartu (EE), Helsinki and Turku (FI), Klaipeda (LT), Jelgava (LV), Poznan and Suwalki (PL), Cherepovets and Pskov (RU). City employees worked together with citizens (children, adults, elders) and NGOs. For instance, in Jelgava the pilot focused on healthy, local and sustainable food from the early childhood and school years. The pilot engaged around 200 children, who improved their eating habits in schools, and as a cascading effect, their families benefited too. https://interreg-baltic.eu/project/healthy-boost/
