By improving people’s access to understandable and trustworthy health information and their capacity to use it effectively, health literacy is critical to empowering people to make decisions about their personal health. To raise greater awareness about this important topic amongst cancer prevention professionals, the EU-funded BUMPER project organised a webinar outlining methods to advance health literacy and digital skills.

The BUMPER project, of which ECL is the proud coordinator, aims to support the development and promotion of the first-ever EU Mobile App for Cancer Prevention. The creation of this app is one of the flagship initiatives of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, designed to spread the evidence-based messages of the European Code Against Cancer to help people across Europe take steps to reduce their cancer risk.
