AURORA aims to:
• Identify a common and feasible strategy to promote Cervical Cancer Screening (CCS) in the New EU Member States targeting women in the reproductive age (30-69 years old) and ensuring the coverage of the hard to reach groups (according to the demographic or socio-economic definitions: young people, rural people, ethnic groups and minorities).
• Assist these States in the implementation of evidence-based population based screening for cervical cancer.
• Promote a European exchange of information and expertise (training and education) on the development and implementation of good practices in Cervical Cancer Prevention and Advocacy.
AURORA consortium will:
• identify and analyse good practices and strategies to promote the CCS.
• Train 24 health professionals as Trainers of trainers about how to reach, approach the project target group and to perform the CCS.
• Train 12 advocacy leaders in cervical cancer control advocacy able to persuade influential people to stimulate change.
• Establish a network of healthcare centers that will test AURORA methodology.

This project seeks to increase the awareness within municipal policy makers and “professional practitioners” on how the socio-cultural context within the local settings, where municipalities can intervene with health promoting activities has an effect on healthy lifestyle choices and the health status within families. The increased awareness will increase these groups’ ability and willingness to develop and implement activities which are specifically developed in relation to the socio cultural context, where they are supposed to have an effect. The general objective of this project is therefore to ensure that health promoting activities, focusing on overweight, obesity and healthy lifestyle choices especially within young people and their families, has a better and long lasting effect.
