Important results from the project
Ineq Solutions combines psychosocial methods with digital technology. Ineq has created Buhobox, a social toolbox that enables the school to deal with the psychosocial challenges that the school faces. The purpose of the project was to commercialize the product and concept BuhoBox and start collaboration with research. The goal was to have found ways to commercialize and 10 paying customers. New channels to reach the target group have been tested and the website has been redesigned. 14 paying customers have purchased a digital product or education. Cooperation with Kau has begun.
Expected long term effects
The project has contributed to increased competence and the Sociogram method has been spread both nationally through social media, education and customer contacts. Through feedback from the test schools, requests were made for education on the sociogram method. Demand for the product has increased as interest in raising the quality of psychosocial work has increased. Procurement of BuhoBox has begun in a municipality. The innovation BuhoBox has been awarded the Skapa hederspris and has been presented to the prince and princess. Collaboration with R&D and Friends has started.
Approach and implementation
BuhoBox has been featured on social media, most successfully through Facebook´s marketed posts and professional groups. The website has been redesigned. A digital education about sociograms has been developed and will be posted on a learning platform. Two courses of 8 hours, aimed at new school counsellors, have been completed with a good response. BuhoBox Sociogram has been tested at 3 schools. Feedback regarding the method has been used in the creation of the digital education. Digital meetings have been held with the research group Cares at Kau, Digital Well and Friends.
