Here are the few important lessons and tips identified by the expert organisations (Icehearts Finland, ISS, UCC, TCL, EurohealthNet, University of Cassino) involved in the project when it come to implementing Icehearts Europe:

1. Start    with    SANA    analysis:    Begin    the    project   by   conducting   a   SANA   analysis   to understand the context and needs. Establish a solid foundation.
2. Begin    with    simple,   doable   steps:   Implement   the   project   in   manageable   stages, progressing step by step.
3. Start  small:  Initially  implement  the  Icehearts  approach  with  a  small group, such as a sports team. Gradually involve other stakeholders, e.g. schools.
4. Identify    collaborators:    Find    individuals    or    groups    willing    to    collaborate    on    or champion the project.   The partnership mapping tool is available for this process.
5. Deploy   the   published   scientific   evidence   of   impact:   Highlight   that   Icehearts   has proven positive effects on the lives of children and young people.
6. Manage initial overwhelm: Acknowledge that feeling overwhelmed at the start is normal. Emphasise the availability of evidence-based tools and resources to support the process. Note the progress and confidence gained by early adopters in adapting the Icehearts approach to their context.
