Call for Proposals on EU Network of Youth Cancer Survivors – CR-g-24-45

Summary

This action is meant to maintain and further develop the ‘EU Network of Youth Cancer Survivors’ to foster social networking, peer-support, coaching, knowledge-exchange and improve the quality of life of young cancer survivors.

Detailed Call Description

The overall aim of maintaining the networks is to continue the collaboration between different existing stakeholder organisations and, through this network to further support social networking and further develop user friendly digital tools to easily access the information and improve the links amongst individuals, patients, children, adolescents and young adults (CAYA) cancer survivors, carers, researchers, and social and health professionals active in cancer prevention and care across the Union and countries associated to the EU4Health Programme. In addition, a healthy lifestyle promoting network could also be integrated in the mobile application and website. Furthermore, the network will consider relapse / metastatic cancer. The network should support and provide all the necessary information related to metastatic cancer.

The network will foster social networking, peer-support, coaching, knowledge-exchange, and aims at improving:

  • the quality of life of survivors (including mental health, education and career support, follow-up care and transition);
  • the care for adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer (including metastatic cancer);
  • Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) along the whole treatment and survivorship trajectory;
  • promote healthy lifestyles through interaction and exchange with peers, with people with a similar disease history, with friends as well as with healthcare organisations.

This action supports the implementation of the Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan to support childhood cancer and implements the EU4Health Programme’s general objective to improve and foster health in the Union (Article 3, point (a), of Regulation (EU) 2021/522) through the specific objectives defined in Article 4, points (a) and (g), of Regulation (EU) 2021/522.
