AB Destekli Diğer Projeler, 2025 - 2028
The European Youth Cancer Network (YARN) weaves together & builds on the EU-CAYAS-NET and OACCUs projects to expand the EU Network of Young People Affected by Cancer, focusing on peer support, social networking, and digital tools to improve access to information, particularly for those facing relapse, metastatic cancer, and treatment side effects. A Youth Cancer Council will empower young people with cancer experience in leadership through systematic integration into project design. By embedding their voices into feedback loops and consultations, the Council ensures lived experience shapes outcomes and drives long-term policy impact. The project will assess the role of social connections on the emotional well-being of young people with cancer. An impact study will evaluate the effects of the EU action grant on Beneficiaries and Partners, focusing on collaboration and synergies with other EU projects. Through focus groups, peer visits, training programs, webinars, and workshops, the project will implement psychosocial and mental health care standards, offer education and career support, and develop comprehensive resources for long-term follow-up and transition of care through evidence-based guidelines. It will improve access to multilingual resources on coping with treatment side effects, relapse, and metastatic cancer for adolescents and young adults (AYA). The project will also promote equity, diversity and inclusivity (EDI) in healthcare institutions and patient communities through tools like the Inclusivity Checklist and a Certification System. A focus on healthy lifestyles will introduce exercise programs, workshops, and a bootcamp to improve well-being. Communication campaigns will reach 50 million people across Europe, and the ACE Academy will train 100 patient advocates. The project will also maintain and expand its digital Platform to host multilingual, reliable information and ensure synergies with other EU-funded projects.
