UcanACT is an opportunity for lifestyle changes: If you happen to belong to the project’s target group that has just had a cancer diagnosis, our partner ONCE has a message for you.

The UcanACT project is now moving towards its practical phase of the pilot actions implementation, during which the three pilot territories, Bologna in Italy, Kilkenny in Ireland, and Munich in Germany, engage the project’s target group - people over 50 and with or without cancer experience - in performing physical activity in public urban green spaces available locally.

The official launch of the UcanACT physical activity pilot round was launched in Kilkenny on 22 February 2024.

To apply physical activity as a tool for cancer prevention, the project partners designed several key project deliverables, including the Citizens Engagement Strategy (CES), the Practical Intervention Methodology (PIM), the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) and the UcanACT App. These tools are the pillars of the implementation phase of the project. They all aim to be evaluated using the project Evaluation Methodology, which will validate the above-mentioned deliverables and measure the impact of the Pilot actions.

Welcome to the third edition of the UcanACT project newsletter! As the project consortium has finalised the key project deliverables and started working on the implementation activities, it is time to bring you a fresh batch of updates on: the publication of the core project deliverables, the launch of the project implementation phase, and introduce you to the new UcanACT collaborator.

We look forward to keeping you updated on our progress in the months ahead!
