This platform will allow users to immediately connect with those who share common values, chat with these “Socialeers,” and coordinate meetups in the now. Thus helping fight the loneliness that 3.2 million college students in the Nordic and Arctic regions face. Its potential consequences are also addressed (depression, binge drinking, substance use, suicidal actions and thoughts, and other negative mental health outcomes). Users will access the platform through a mobile-friendly website and impact will be measured through the Socialeer ratings post-meetups. Socialeer offers immediacy, social connection, culturally based social activities, accountability for meetups through using peer pressure, and scalability to other communities.
