Libraries Without Borders (LWB) and the CNP Assurances Foundation announced that the Boulonnais conurbation community has won their call for proposals to implement the “Health Ideas Box” in the fight against social inequalities in health care.
A winning bidder has finally been selected subsequent to the call for proposals launched on 20th April 2017 to implement the “Health Ideas Box”! In a few weeks the Boulonnais conurbation community will be able to deploy this innovative device throughout the community.
The CNP Assurances Foundation’s Ideas Box is a mobile “pop-up” multimedia library that fits on two pallets and can be set up in less than 20 minutes to create a 100 sq.m learning hub for a broad audience. Supplied with some twenty touch tablets, four laptops, several eBook-readers, books, a cinema module and an Internet connection, this device is a superb tool for innovation and discovery.
The CNP Assurances Foundation’s Health Ideas Box provides young people with a dedicated space equipped with educational resources related to health issues (books, magazines, websites and the like). This media library also offers youth an opportunity to take part in health education events and even create health-related projects.
The Boulonnais conurbation has long practiced a policy of preventive health care targeted at local residents. Courtesy of the CNP Assurances Foundation’s Health Ideas Box, the Boulonnais conurbation will be able to offer its residents a project targeted at a young audience, primarily from classified priority neighbourhoods defined by urban policy. The Health Ideas Box supported by the CNP Assurances Foundation will focus primarily on two main themes: “affective and sexual relations” and “well-being and ill-being”.
