Podcasts and lectures

We want to contribute to and develop cooperation between academia and other social actors by investigating and presenting the perspectives and experiences of different target groups. It could, for example, be about patients in the healthcare system or children and young people who are the subject of health promotion efforts.

In order to provide care and create interventions that respond to the needs that exist, it is valuable to look at the activities from the perspective of the recipients as well as the caregivers. Here, our research contributes valuable knowledge. For example, we lecture on results from various research projects and carry out workshops where caregivers and other practitioners, or officials who lead development work in care or school, meet researchers to share experiences regarding issues of treatment and the creation of care or health promotion efforts.
