Health Behaviour in School-aged Children: what do Greenland’s children need to thrive?

The HBSC Greenland study investigates the health and behavior of school-aged children across the country. This animation explains the value of participation—how students, schools, researchers, and decision-makers come together to improve young people’s lives.

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.

The 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.

The 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.
