Case Study:
Using animation to show how local participation shapes national health insights.
The Problem: Hidden Patterns, Missed Opportunities
Without regular, large-scale data, it’s difficult to understand how children and youth in Greenland are doing. Health behaviors, emotional well-being, and risk factors vary across communities, and without participation from schools and families, efforts to improve conditions can miss the mark.
Solution: A Network of Voices, Animated
We developed a vibrant animation that shows the journey of the HBSC survey—from a child in the classroom to researchers and decision-makers. Using visuals like glowing maps, thought bubbles, and community figures, the video brings clarity to a complex research process. It emphasizes that data is not just numbers—it’s a tool to make life better for real children.
Result: Awareness, Legitimacy, and Engagement
The animation is used to motivate participation among schools and communities, helping them understand their role in the HBSC process. It fosters trust in the survey and highlights how local answers contribute to national policy, community programs, and better health outcomes for Greenlandic youth.
