This project focuses on training adults with chronic diseases and health community. By working on endometriosis, the project potentially reaches 14 million people in Europe, who call themselves "ENDOs". Our ambition is to enable ENDOs to be more active in their care journey. We will use art and culture as skills developer. User-centric, our learning tools will contribute to building an active community of ENDOs and caregivers. This project offers inspiring innovations for other health fields.

Our partnership involve actors from adult education, health, digital, research, arts and culture and patient organisations from Finland, Sweden, France, Italy and Ireland. Together they consolidate the active place of ENDOs in the care pathway by using -Performing and visual art -storytelling and narrative (with the tools of narrative medicine) -digital tools to facilitate understanding between experts and ENDOs We rely on the huge community of ENDOs to initiate, test and improve our approach.

Over 10,000 people will be reached and 1,000 people are involved in learning processes. In the light of Women's History and from the stories of ENDOs' daily journeys, our artistic productions, collection of stories, dictionaries, digital tools allowing a better understanding of expert and patients languages. The complementarity and quality of the partners make this project known within the European networks of culture and Health. #ENDOs will improve the position of women in our society.
