The rest of the youth connect on internet either:

1. Via a school computer

2. Via the parents devices

The Solution to Structural Access to SRHS is : • TECHNOLOGY + POWERFUL CONTENT + INNOVATIVE WAYS OF DELIVERING

IT THROUGH THE TECHNOLOGY

• An aligned approach across member states to discuss the content type and delivery approach

• Structural deployment and Training of adults/teachers around the youth to monitor and be the responsible party of feedback provided by the content interaction + attitude and behaviour of the kids at home/school

1. Use as much as possible Gamification for fostering access to SRHS content.

2. Virtual Reality will be interesting mean for the +17 years old

3. Pair (1)(2) with Deep Learning or Artificial Intelligence so that content will be tailored to the behaviour of the child and environment he/she lives in

Support CrossBorder Cooperation within Health Professionals and Health Services

If the alignment among member states has been successful; it is pretty easy to decide at the centralise level;

1. What to do with the data for public health knowledge and empowerment?

2. For learning from each other through Case studies exchange in a safe/secure environment

Reduce the Stigma and Discrimination of Groups at Risk of HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infections

When the first and second issues are dealt with; it is easy to organise communities that can interact with each other and play with each other and support each other emotionally either through technology or face to face.
