SUSWELL establishes local communities of practice in Kosovo and Russia to build capacity through social innovation. The aim is to improve and maintain health and well-being at the community level in Pristina, Gjakova, Perm, St. Petersburg and Belgorod.
The objectives are to increase the institutional capacity of Higher Education Institutions, increase the individual capacity of (future) health and well-being professionals and greater social capacity in the respective local communities.
In addition to traditional healthcare initiatives, the SUSWELL consortium recognizes the need for stakeholder interaction across systems, professions and disciplines.
The initiative is made up of nine Higher Education Institutions and six social organizations (stakeholders) from seven European countries that embrace the complexity of healthcare systems and accept the need for co-creation to enable social change.
SUSWELL is co-financed by the European Union's Erasmus+ Program.
