The project "PART - Platform for Active Regional Participation" aims to develop an innovative platform to promote the social integration of people with mental illness in the Hildesheim region. This platform combines digital and local networking services to reduce social isolation and improve the quality of life of those affected. The project is being carried out in collaboration with Health X Future GmbH and Mein Weg Soziale Hilfen GmbH.

A central element of the project is comprehensive accompanying research, which is being conducted in the form of guided interviews with Mein Weg clients prior to concept development and in the form of a semi-standardised online survey with Mein Weg clients and employees. These surveys serve to ensure the participation of potential future users of the online platform by incorporating their usage needs and expectations as well as their feedback on the drafts. The results will be incorporated into the development and optimisation of the platform to ensure that it meets the requirements of the target groups.
