Purpose and goal
The project has attained its objective to develop an innovative concept that can solve the problem of increasing the spread of STDs as Folkhälsocentrum works with. The project has also fulfilled the purpose of learning individuals in the media industry how to develop solutions to problems and how to investigate the potential of their solution. This also reinforces young adults´ identity as innovators. The goal has been met and the competition has resulted in a number of potential solutions to the problem. The goal was also to systematize the process of competition to an annual competition
Results and expected effects
The outcome of building interdisciplinary teams within the media industry was successful and led to it were developed nontraditional solutions and who had not brought about the mission had been presented in a traditional advertising competition. We also believe that the problem is of such a nature that it is in other parts of the world, we believe that the solutions may have a high degree of scalability. We mean then that Folkhälsocentrum can be seen as a good example in the world to develop new solutions to their problems.
Approach and implementation
We are very pleased and proud of the project. We think it is successful in that there was so much interest to participate and to cooperate with us in the competition. What was most successful was that Folkhälsocentrum has such a large interest in the solutions that came up in the competition that they are buying both the winning team´s solution and team two´s concept. We also perceive that Kreatoriet was something that was fortunate for the competition and something that can be developed.
