DOMINO project aims to provide knowledge and education for current and future social-and healthcare professionals in Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) for prevention and early intervention of domestic violence by developing an educational DOMINO mobile application. The longer-term aim is to improve the physical and mental well-being by improving the early intervention and prevention of domestic violence.
The results of the project are pedagogical framework, online course and DOMINO mobile application. The pedagogical framework is developed through mapping the educational needs of domestic violence of social and health care professionals and HEI teachers in each participating country through expert panel discussions. DOMINO online course (5 ECTS) is developed based on a pedagogical framework. The online course also establishes the final product of the project, the DOMINO mobile application. In addition, the development of the mobile application includes the functional and technical settings and the piloting of the application by current and future social- and healthcare professionals.
The ultimate beneficiaries of the DOMINO project are the families suffering from domestic violence. By enhancing the accessibility of knowledge and education of early intervention and prevention of domestic violence among current and future professionals, the DOMINO project strives to improve the care of victims and perpetrators and their physical and mental well-being in a longer timeframe.
