The Dragon Project

Project title

Drakprojektet

Description of initiative

The Dragon Project was run with the ambition of developing health-promoting cultural activities online and was aimed at young adults who for various reasons withdraw from social contexts and suffered from mental illness. The focus has been on developing a method and a web application that can be used in the form of a study group where culture and joint reflection become a support for young people between 16 and 29 years of age with mental illness. The project owner was the association Sensus. The purpose was to encourage cultural interest, social community and digital participation, which leads participants getting out of their exclusion and having the opportunity to be part of a social context outside the network as well.
