co-reflection event, on the theme: &#8216;Health literacy in Belgium: from ideas to action&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HealthNest invited all actors active in the field of health literacy to participate in developing ideas or in discussing how existing initiatives can keep on growing. The aim of the event was to co-create sustainable changes by sharing experiences, ideas, and initiatives to enable a crucial transformation of our healthcare system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professor Stephan Van den Broucke (UCL), chairman of the HealthNest board, opened the event and gave attendees an insight into the organization\u2019s operations and ambitions. He outlined the challenges at hand, namely, how to strengthen health literacy in Belgium and how to create a lasting impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on inspiring testimonies by Ann Trappers, Content Coordinator at Foyer, and Tinne Vandensande, KBS\/FRB, the attendees were immersed into health literacy practices and its significant challenges. From her experience at the Brussels-based organization Foyer, Ms. Trappers shared her insights regarding the topic of intercultural mediation in health care. On the other hand, Ms. Vandensande explained the initiatives of KBS\/RFB on improving Health Literacy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In preparation of the working groups, the results of the <strong>Impact Model 2022<\/strong> were presented by Kristel Van Ael (Namahn). The strategic results of the topic <strong>\u201chealth information offering\u201d<\/strong> were the starting point for the working groups which aims was to explore possible projects and collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"mh-spacer mh-spacer--eb7d3d4846f236e64df001978989ad9f\" aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>\n<style>.mh-spacer--eb7d3d4846f236e64df001978989ad9f {--mh-spacer-height--l: 30px;--mh-spacer-height--m: 32px;--mh-spacer-height--s: 20px;}<\/style><style>.mh-spacer--eb7d3d4846f236e64df001978989ad9f {--mh-spacer-background-image: none;}<\/style>\n\n<h5  class=\"mh-heading mh-heading--7803aa7362bd2abbefd258d1f28b39d6\">Topics of the 5 working groups:<\/h5><style>.mh-heading--7803aa7362bd2abbefd258d1f28b39d6 {--mh-heading-background-image: none;}<\/style>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Evidence-based health information offering<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consistent and comprehensive health information offering, bringing the same message<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure that patients\u2019 personal contacts are aware of their health information<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Health information adapted to mindset, culture, beliefs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Offering tailored-made health information to (minority) target groups<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<hr class=\"mh-spacer mh-spacer--eb7d3d4846f236e64df001978989ad9f\" aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>\n<style>.mh-spacer--eb7d3d4846f236e64df001978989ad9f {--mh-spacer-height--l: 30px;--mh-spacer-height--m: 32px;--mh-spacer-height--s: 20px;}<\/style><style>.mh-spacer--eb7d3d4846f236e64df001978989ad9f {--mh-spacer-background-image: none;}<\/style>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All participants brainstormed and mapped possible initiatives, challenges, collaborations, capacities and needs. These results were mapped by Namahn, including gaps and capacities. The interactive map could be updated by participants even after the event to ensure that everyone had a permanent overview on the progress, new capabilities and needs of specific HealthNest initiatives. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/healthnest.be\/pdf\/Initiative-Map.pdf\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">(Initiative Map)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first HealthNest event was concluded by a plenary feedback moment where the inputs of the various working groups were summarized. In addition, the community also looked ahead to the future evolution of HealthNest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the event, attended by <strong>over 30 organizations<\/strong> active in healthcare, participants had the opportunity to meet many health literacy professionals and challenge them about their needs, obstacles, ambitions, and resources. In doing so, we were able to identify about 15 <strong>key initiatives<\/strong> to promote health literacy in Belgium in the near future. In addition to these new understandings and insights, participants could also look back on renewed contacts with appropriate experts and other project leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"mh-columns mh-column--6ed14ede111830f4e89438fafb639c8a mh-columns--gutter-m\">\n    <div class=\"mh-columns-inner\">\n        \n<div class=\"mh-column mh-column--dfea3034c8753b433b0b6430230d72df mh-column--12 mh-column--m-4 mh-column--l-4\">\n    \n    <figure class=\"mh-image mh-image--b4b52aa58bbd90a1049f9b88ed0f7d16\" >\n                            <img decoding=\"async\"\n        class=\"\"\n        src=\"https:\/\/healthnest.be\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2022\/11\/event-1.jpg?w=953&#038;quality=80&#038;lossy=1\"\n        width=\"953\"        height=\"715\"        loading=\"lazy\"                alt=\"\"\n            \/>\n                        <\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<style>.mh-column--dfea3034c8753b433b0b6430230d72df {--mh-column-background-image: none;}<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"mh-column mh-column--82478f1cfaef93677a0eb04ee015e57f mh-column--12 mh-column--m-4 mh-column--l-4\">\n    \n    <figure class=\"mh-image mh-image--a1d3fbe7503eaf61ff76818d85b9b83f\" >\n                            <img decoding=\"async\"\n        class=\"\"\n        src=\"https:\/\/healthnest.be\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2022\/11\/event-2.jpg?w=953&#038;quality=80&#038;lossy=1\"\n        width=\"953\"        height=\"715\"        loading=\"lazy\"                alt=\"\"\n            \/>\n                        <\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<style>.mh-column--82478f1cfaef93677a0eb04ee015e57f {--mh-column-background-image: none;}<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"mh-column mh-column--19e48f7503169a249454dc88896795be mh-column--12 mh-column--m-4 mh-column--l-4\">\n    \n    <figure class=\"mh-image mh-image--befbc9e0b01539719eed44a0556de052\" >\n                            <img decoding=\"async\"\n        class=\"\"\n        src=\"https:\/\/healthnest.be\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/249\/2022\/11\/event-3.jpg?w=968&#038;quality=80&#038;lossy=1\"\n        width=\"968\"        height=\"727\"        loading=\"lazy\"                alt=\"\"\n            \/>\n                        <\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<style>.mh-column--19e48f7503169a249454dc88896795be {--mh-column-background-image: none;}<\/style>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"mh-spacer mh-spacer--4308dfe49ba7041fd18bff6fa113890e\" aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>\n<style>.mh-spacer--4308dfe49ba7041fd18bff6fa113890e {--mh-spacer-height--l: 43px;--mh-spacer-height--m: 32px;--mh-spacer-height--s: 20px;}<\/style><style>.mh-spacer--4308dfe49ba7041fd18bff6fa113890e {--mh-spacer-background-image: none;}<\/style>\n\n<h2  id=\"1\" class=\"mh-heading mh-heading--left mh-heading--65aa73513973fc929fcd4507baae4b8d\"><br \/>\nDigital event | November 15, 2022<\/h2><style>.mh-heading--65aa73513973fc929fcd4507baae4b8d {--mh-heading-text-color: #00857c;}<\/style><style>.mh-heading--65aa73513973fc929fcd4507baae4b8d {--mh-heading-background-image: none;}<\/style>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One in three Belgians struggle to obtain, understand and use health information.
