The LeHo community is open for everyone involved in home and hospital education with the support of ICT
2
Did you know that there are hundreds of thousands of young people across Europe and the rest of the world with medical needs, and that the majority recover and go on to lead full and normal lives? Hospital schools and home tuition programmes ensure that students not only keep up with their education, but that they can go on to achieve magnificent things.

Main project data

The starting point Students in hospital or ill at home face isolation and cannot access mainstream education. ICT can play a key role in providing better communication and mediation of the educational processes whilst a student is absent from school due to a medical condition.
6
The issue of HHE (Home and Hospital Education) Providing education to children and youngsters with medical or psychological needs: a world-wide problem Every country has its own solution for it. Need for an international confrontation on this subject In some countries there are online/digital solutions that may help the schools and the family to guarantee the right to education also to these children.
7
Aims of this project Outline key educational factors & good practices needed by ill students; Explore and design ICT-based solutions which will enable children in hospital, in home therapy, or who attend school part-time, to access education. Verify how technology can impact on the methodology and pedagogy in Home and Hospital Education (HHE).
8
Not only for ill people Moreover, the initiatives adopted in the HHE, which represents an educational extreme are designed to be innovative and to improve education in difficult contexts. They may also be effectively applied in ‘normal’ didactical situations.
9
So, what are our main goals: Investigate the situation in EU on HHE in terms of policies, habits, rules, etc…; Arise awareness around the HHE at many levels; Create local and international communities on the themes of HHE; Discover, invent and design ways to use ICT to support HHE; Disseminate these innovative use to the wider possible community; Make the project activities sustainable.
