Zusammen Entwickeln – Technology and positive Health

The objective of the project ZETH “Zusammen Entwickeln – Technology and positive Health. Ländübergreifende Gesundheit” is to jointly develop the healthcare education system across borders, by jointly implementing innovations in the existing healthcare education programmes and the dual hbo bachelor’s degree in Nursing. This will create more attractive education, fill more study places, involve practitioners even more and make innovations in education and care more sustainable. Innovative about this project is that pupils/students learn about the adoption of technology, as well as prevention and positive health (healthy functioning of clients) and lifelong development. This will give a major boost to cross-border cooperation between 10 educational and healthcare institutions MBO and HBO to create preventive, integral, inclusive and positive health in the Ems Dollard region. The project will involve 500 students, 97 teachers, 20 employers and 97 informal carers. The new educational materials and activities will be implemented in the existing generalist health care training and programmes for continuing education. Integration into existing curricula avoids problems with recognition and accreditation. To create cross-border impact on the above three themes, both qualitative and quantitative questions are further investigated in the project. For all three themes, the initial situation of those involved will first be identified: what is the current level of knowledge and competence? Based on this, educational and train-the-trainer materials will be developed and implemented. During the project, participants are followed to map knowledge and competence development.
